Today was the annual day trip from St John's Seven Kings to Cité Europe plus another location, which this year was the beautiful town of Veurne in Belgium.
Found at a stone’s throw from the coast and the French border, Veurne has one of the most beautiful market squares of Belgium. The Town Hall has been built in a Flemish Renaissance style and the Viscount Hall is finished with a Belfort Tower (Unesco World Heritage monument). Saint Walburga Church has a vault which is 23 metres high. The church has been richly furnished and boasts beautiful choir stalls in the Flemish Renaissance style plus interesting paintings and statues. A relic from the Holy Cross is kept in this church. Saint Nicholas Church has been built using the typical yellow brick from the region. In the 48–metre high church tower is a small carillon museum. The oldest clock of Veurne (1379), locally called "’t Bomtje", is part of the current carillon.
