For a long time, the old Steentje served as a prison and was inhabited by the monarch, a police officer.
Later it was an inn, served as a justice of the peace and was the seat of the poor council.
In the end it was even a powder magazine for the vigilante for a while.
The city council bought this very dilapidated building in 1902 and demolished it 2 years later. The new Steentje was built in 1922 by architect Van Ravestyn.
Also look up: the historic coat of arms of Turnhout can be seen in the facade.
Since 1995 it has served as a tourist information point.

Bloemekensgang

Highlight • Historical Site

The German Ulf Keyenburg has been creating striking comic strips for several years
the abbreviation Ulf K. He became widely known through the translation of his first
album 'Der Mondgucker' in 1998.
Strip Turnhout has been operating in various locations in Turnhout since 2007
downtown strip walls.
For example, in 2007 the side facade of De Weerelt in Turnhout's Warandestraat received the first Turnhout comic strip wall, designed by Jan Van der Veken, Turnhout's city illustrator at that time.
The characters from the comic 'Hunker Bunker' by Reinhart Croon appeared opposite café Ranonkel in 2009.
And now the colorful design by Ulf K., full name Ulf Keyenburg, provides even more cheerfulness in the Bloemekensgang.
“A modern creation of perhaps kitschy Baroque and Renaissance facades, a kind of Ancien Belgique in Turnhout style, but still an absolute asset due to its charm, small scale and freedom of traffic. Although the collected formal elements do not historically belong in Turnhout.”
This is how Harry de Kok describes the Bloemekensgang.
