Open Monumentendag

Open Monumentendag is an annual heritage event held across Europe each September, opening up monuments that are usually closed to the public. In Flanders, the event is organized by heritage organization Herita. Bringing past and present together, Herita preserves, restores, and activates historic sites, safeguarding them for future generations while inviting today’s audience to explore and experience them. As part of the European Heritage Days, the event connects to a wider movement across 50 countries, where millions of people rediscover cultural heritage at the same time.
