Tienen

Tienen, tucked along the Grote Gete in eastern Flanders, is a city whose character is shaped by the fertile loam soils of the Hageland. Sugar beet has long defined the local economy, and the Tiense Suiker refinery has made the city synonymous with Belgian sugar. The broad Grote Markt forms the historic centre, where the Church of St Germanus recalls Tienen’s medieval past. Each summer, the Suikerrock music festival gives the city a contemporary public rhythm. Beyond town, the gently rolling Hageland is marked by fields, orchards and village roads.
