Hoge Mote: it starts here!

Reception and experience centre in the Flemish Ardennes

Virtual reality and panorama tower

The ‘Hoge Mote’, centrally located at the historic town centre, is without any doubt a highly innovative reception and experience centre. The restoration of the site is a must-see: it’s a fine heritage site with surprising contemporary touches. It’s also the home of the Ronse tourist office ‘Visit Ronse’ and the perfect start for a city hike or a discovery of the region. The ‘Hoge Mote’ already had three towers, and with a fourth tower the view is now complete.

By means of interactive panels, audio stories, films and virtual reality, visitors can find out more about St Hermes, the development of Ronse and of the textile sector, as well as of Flanders’ finest landscape. The information is available in four languages.

The experience centre is a family-friendly hotspot in the Flemish Ardennes and is entirely free. Those who want to explore all the modules are surely in for a visit of about an hour.
