Akerk
From the Vismarkt, the church, located at the Akerkhof, towers high above the Korenbeurs. The Akerk is about 800 years old. It was built for Catholic worship and was taken over by the Protestants during the Reformation. The building is nowadays no longer used as a church. It is now used for meetings and events.
The Christmas City Walk starts here in the Akerk. Listen to the hundred-voice choir and begin your walk at the retro TV wall featuring the angels Gabriel and Zera.
‘She gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.’
