Legend: "Aarschot" refers to an "Eagle" that was killed and "Schot" to a raised place. The inhabitants got their nickname Kasseistampers because the civil guard in the 18th century often sat in cafes instead of patrolling and then stomped loudly with their clogs on the stones to hide their drinking behavior.

Catering spread in the city center.

Dogs on a leash welcome.
