The Almshouses (Houses of God) were built in the Middle Ages to help the sick, elderly and needy. 

Today, they are still residences so be quiet when you visit. You can purchase Lier lace and embroidery in the Saint Beatrix almshouse.
Schapenkoppen or the Sheep's Head Monument in Lier, Belgium tells of the interesting and humourous history of Lier.

Legend says in the 15th century, Duke John II wanted to thank the people of Lier for their services during his struggle with the people of Mechelen. They could choose their reward, either a cattle market or a university. They chose the cattle market. The Duke's response? "Oh, the sheep heads!" To which the people of Lier are lovingly called this day.
The beguinage at Lier in Belgium is full of surprises and wonderful buildings. Saint Margarita is free to enter and we were the only people exploring the church. If you love historical architecture, you must visit the beguinage's in Belgium. Construction of Saint Margarita began in 1664.

Everything was perfect! Lovely place. Although a few staff wasn’t helpful and one just knocked, said room service and open my door without my consent, it was good I had my robe on as I was making my hair. Asides that everything was okay.
