It is not for nothing that Pallieterstad Lier was nicknamed 'Lierke Plezierke. In this city on the Nete, people like to party and have fun. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the annual fair in Lier. The Novemberfoor Lier 2022 took place from Thursday 3 November to Sunday 20 November. More than 60 attractions and food or drink stalls were spread over the Grote Markt, Zimmerplein and Gasthuisvest.

The Gothic belfry dating from 1369 is classified UNESCO World Heritage. The tower was the symbol of freedom and power. Nowadays it houses a small automatic carillon with 23 bells. no public access.

De Fortuin was probably built in the 17th century. It was used first as a grain store, then as a coal depot, lemonade factory, cabinetmaker’s workshop, town warehouse and restaurant.

The Prisoner’s Gate was built in 1375 as part of the town wall of the time. From the 16th century to 1930 the gate was used as a prison, hence the present name.

The Spui, the former lock house on the Nete, is the only remaining building of the second town wall (1508-1516).
