Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver is a small village in the municipality of Lier, known for its serene atmosphere and religious heritage. The centerpiece is the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, a Gothic church dating from the 15th century, with a striking tower and stained-glass windows. Adjacent to the church is a beguinage (begijnhof), a collection of historic houses once home to religious women. The village also features a castle (Kasteel van Waver) and peaceful walking paths along the Waver river. It's a quiet escape from the city, ideal for those interested in history and architecture.
