WHAT TO DO INLIER, BELGIUM?
...wat te doen in lier, belgië...
LIER STADSMUSEUM - CITY MUSEUM OF LIER
My first stop when I showed up at Lier was at the City Museum of Lier (Stadsmuseum), a chronicled focus focused on the arrangement of encounters, geology, people, and culture of Lier. The principal room was stacked with fine arts and photos of the town from important events to now.
The accompanying room is where Atyudarini got really fortified. For sure, she had been amped available since a day or two ago, when I showed her photos of the chronicled focus - a Processional Giant! This room is about the customary redirection and performing articulations in Lier. There was also a Wooden Stilt Horse troupe that we could test (something practically indistinguishable from the one worn in Stilt Horse moves). Atyudarini wore it momentarily and subsequently, she might not want to wear it and I couldn't attempt to get a photo of her wearing it! It is even possible to go in and wear the monstrous Processional Giant woman, anyway as of now with the lockdown, it has been closed off! Here's moreover a spot to endeavor your hand in Struifvogelspel, a standard game where you have a go at hitting the bullseye with a wooden ostrich! Atyudarini got genuinely animated at the shadow puppetry district since you can truly make your own puppets here. Plan to have your psyche blown. Since we had relatively little ideal opportunity to make our puppets there, we made our own shadow puppets with paper and sticks similarly to the shadow puppet theater out of a shoebox the next day at home!
Next is a touch-and-feel where you can manage different sorts of sheep downy, the worsted and brushed wool similarly as some woven and sewed downy surfaces. Why? Since sheep raising is a critical occupation here in Lier, such a great deal of that the town's logo is sheep face! Every so often they furthermore mastermind a felted cover-production studio for more prepared youngsters!
The last room was the accompanying point Atyudarini had been amped up for since the prior day in the wake of seeing photos - a Mammoth skeleton. Clearly, this section dives into the old past of Lier. There's a huge load of things here for adolescents to play with - stencil drawing, jigsaw puzzles, toy dolls of antiquated individuals and animals, glove puppet of a mammoth, pull along toy mammoth in this way significantly more! Should I truly notice, that this was the locale we contributed the most energy in......
There's a room gave to the promoter blessed individual of Lier - St.Gammarus. There's moreover a section about the various trades of the city including trim making - the local strategy is by weaving on a gauze material!

LIER BELFRY - UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES IN LIER, FLANDERS
In a little while the Lier Stadsmuseum, our next stop was the Grote Markt and Belfry. The Grote Markt (Grand Place) is a three-sided shaped one and has a wellspring. Right, when you're here don't miss the charming, wooden, course announcement with vintage-styled houses and people. Moreover when you're here don't miss the indirect stone on the ground, Heksensteen, which indicates where the last 'witch' was burned. All over the place, various a period, women were named witches and were executed and Lier was no extraordinary case and today you can essentially see where that happened! Public executions were done at this very spot till late nineteenth C CE!
During the essential all-inclusive clash, most of the Lier town was destroyed, anyway by somehow the Town Hall and Belfry were simply fairly reached. The Town Hall was patched up in 1740 CE in a Brabant Rococo style by Jan Pieter van Bauerscheit the Younger. Today it houses the Tourism office of Lier and that office alone is open for the general populace. I tried to show up at the Grote Markt when the clock struck an hour, to hear the Carillon on the Belfry. Lier Belfry is one of the 56 turrets all over Belgium and France recorded all together World Heritage Site. Rather than the Carillon in Mechelen's Rumbold Tower, here the tolls are motorized. Watch the video to hear the music!

ZIMMER TOWER (ZIMMERTOREN) and ZIMMERMUSEUM
In the wake of seeing the unique tickers like the Greenwich Atomic clock, Prague Astronomical Clock, and after I found that there's a clever verify here in Belgium, clearly, I expected to go visit it. For sure, there are 2 critical and uncommon tickers here - Jubilee/Centenary clock on Zimmertoren and Wonder Clock on Zimmermuseum - both arranged by Louis Zimmer, arranged near each other. Seeing these tickers was one of the crucial reasons why I organized an excursion to Lier from Brussels. These are two of the primary minds of the planet and two of the top attractions of Lier.
I tried to reach here on time to watch the clock at work at 12:00 Noon. Around early evening reliably, the Jubilee clock sets up an amazing show!
Notwithstanding, the 4 painted figures depicting the 4 times of life (kid, juvenile, grown-up, old individual) as an idea in retrospect outside, ring the toll. This happens every 15 mins with each figure tending to 15 mins. The older individual rings the hourly toll. Every one of the 4, depicts 4 well-known episodic figures of the area. Watch the video under to see the clock at work.
Then at 12:00 early evening just, the little red storeroom opens to show a carousel of 8 by and large prominent people of Lier. The carousel requires numerous minutes to begin after the tolls ring. So stop! 2 unique get-togethers were staying with me when I went and one leftover, one additional was almost leaving and I had wound down my camera when finally the carousel began! So... Interruption!
The zenith was at first returned to Cornelius Tower and dates to the thirteenth C CE, as a piece of the prominent city dividers of Lier. The Jubilee check was presented in 1930 CE and the apex was renamed Zimmer Tower. Besides the central dial that shows the ideal chance, 12 little dials encompassing it depicts various things incl. date, month, day of the week, season, tides, time of the moon, moon's circle, sun-controlled circle, etc It is plausible to climb this zenith and see the clock extremely close, from behind. The 2 accounts of the Zimmer Tower are tied in with stargazing, stars, sublime bodies, and that is just a glimpse of something larger. This was set up in 1932 by Louis Zimmer himself to show the general populace how time capacities!
In the wake of seeing the clock's show and the Zimmer tower, I scrambled toward the Beguinage and got back to the Zimmer Museum (I'll uncover to you why!) to see the other remarkable clock, another show-stopper of Louis Zimmer - Wonder Clock! This was basic 1935 CE and it won bushes all through the planet incl. appreciation from Albert Einstien. For sure, Wonder Clock at Lier is one of the primary minds on the planet. There is an extreme number of things in this 3-load up the clock. A base is 3 portions with 9 artful dance entertainers in 1, a man staying on a measuring machine in 1, and 4 people like the Zimmer Tower's ring ringers in the last (the older individual alone rings the toll here)! Reliably, the 9 ballet artists staying on the 9 planets (pluto was one when the clock was collected) start turning. Dependent upon their weight on each planet, they rise to that stature - very high in Mercury and astoundingly less in Jupiter! The man on the checking machine from a genuine perspective has his weight disapproved of every planet. We went to the Beguinage and returned here to see this when the clock struck 1:00 PM to see this showing of the expressive dance entertainers and others! That is the explanation!
There are 93 tickers on it completely depicting 93 unmistakable things! It fuses the slowest moving mechanical clock which requires 25,800 years to complete one full turn!!!
