Zimmer Tower

The Zimmertoren in Lier was built before 1425 - though the exact year is unknown. The clock shows way more than just the time: like the seasons, the tides, the cycli of the sun...

Zimmer Tower is the iconic clock of the town of Lier. The town's best-known landmark is from the 14th century and was a part of the original town wall.

Watch the side of the clock because on the hour, an animated display takes place on the facade.

So you don't feel rushed, grab a seat at Cafe Rene, across the street from the tower, and enjoy a classic Belgian beer.

8.8/10 Excellent! (392 reviews)

A lovely hotel but despite booking 5 months early the twin room we requested was unavailable. Also, the hotel was fully booked so we were sent to another of their properties across the road. It was serviced by very steep stairs - no lift and we were two flights up. We would not have been able to get our luggage up the steep narrow stairs if the reception guy hadn’t helped. Checking out was really difficult navigating our luggage down the stairs. We had breakfast included but only went the first day because we felt we could do better somewhere else and we saw the waiter using his hands to refill the hash browns and then eat directly from breakfast buffet (berries). I don't think we saw the best of the hotel.
