View of the 'REDT U ZELVEN' building - Agricultural Cooperative
Highlight • Monument
The name was a leitmotif of the former agricultural cooperative founded in 1918. Farmers at the time didn't rely on the government; they took their fate into their own hands, united, and tried to improve their own quality of life.

Aalst City Park 1915 - 1916
Highlight • Natural
The history of the park begins in the period around the First World War. In 1910-1911, the Osbroek was purchased by alderman of finance Moyersoen for public use. Under the policy of alderman of public works Désiré De Wolf, the park was laid out between 1915 and 1916 by landscape architect Louis-Julien Breydel. The park was specially designed to provide work for the residents of Aalst and to remove them from the war conditions.
The park consists of several water features, including the Ballonvijver and the Spiegelvijver, surrounded by lawns and groups of tall trees. There are also several walking paths and playgrounds, and some of the original structures, such as the garden, card and milk house, are still present. The park has also been a protected cultural-historical landscape since 1977.
