Strombeek-Bever offers several ways to plan your trip: a wide-ranging cultural programme, leisure activities at Pierebad and a village centre shaped by history. There are also specific places to visit, such as Gemeenteplein and Sint-Amandsplein. When choosing a destination, it can help to first consider whether culture, exercise or local history will shape your stay.
Culture at Cultuurcentrum Strombeek
Cultuurcentrum Strombeek is located at Gemeenteplein 1, 1853 Grimbergen (Strombeek-Bever). Its extensive, varied, ambitious and contemporary programme includes performing arts, film, visual arts and education. The different disciplines make it possible to plan a cultural visit around a specific interest or performance, rather than limiting your plans to a single format.
The programme changes, so check which performances are on during your travel dates. You can order tickets for your preferred performance at any time through the ticket shop; as ticketing arrangements may change, it is advisable to check the current conditions before your visit.
Village history and archaeological finds
The village centre of Strombeek-Bever was formed by Sint-Amandskerk and its associated presbytery. The presbytery is located at Sint-Amandsplein No. 4. The church and presbytery provide a clearly identified focal point for the area's history.
A separate historical point of interest is the Rotterik area near Kasteel van Bever. Around 1860, traces of houses, brick fragments and the base of a sigillata bowl were found there. This brings together two different perspectives: the historic village centre with its church and presbytery, and the archaeological finds from Rotterik. Anyone interested in the history of a place will find both an architectural and an archaeological point of interest here.
Pierebad and skatepark
LAGO CLUB Grimbergen Pierebad in Strombeek-Bever has a teaching pool, a sports pool, a leisure area and a wellness zone. The areas offer different focuses, from swimming to wellness. If you include the pool in your plans, check the current operating conditions before your visit.
The skatepark is behind Pierebad, at Ringlaan 25, 1853 Grimbergen (Strombeek-Bever). It is open from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The skatepark therefore has specific opening hours; for a visit to the pool, however, you should check the current operating conditions.
Bike hire and landscape
There is a Nextbike station at Sint-Amandsplein with three regular rental bikes and one electric rental bike. The available bike types are clearly differentiated. If you are considering cycling as part of your stay, the station is a useful local point of reference.
The municipality of Grimbergen as a whole is characterised by clay and sandy soils and a gently rolling landscape. This adds a landscape perspective at municipal level to the cultural, historical and leisure highlights.
This makes it possible to choose your destination based on what you would like to experience in Strombeek-Bever.
