The entirely cobbled Grand’Place is one of the town’s unmissable tourist attractions.It dates all the way back to the 13th century when the new town was created and was part of the town walls. A chapel was built there, Our Lady of the Market Chapel, so that residents could have a place of worship as Saint Médard’s and Saint Lambert’s churches were outside the town walls. The town hall was also built there as well as a covered market as it had become an important market town.Today it is a must-see for many reasons. For tourism of course, thanks to the Gobertange stone that illuminates it and also remarkable buildings such as Our Lady of the Market Chapel, the Hôtel des Libertés and the Viscount’s House.Then for practical reasons as it has a variety of important businesses such as a cinema, supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and bars...Some annual events are also held here organised by the town including the Ascension Market, the biggest cattle fair in the province, and others such as the Jodoigne-les-Bains festival in summer.

The current Saint Médard’s church in Jodoigne, dating from the 13th century, is a listed building and justifiably recognised as a jewel of Walloon Brabant. This large Roman and Gothic style building, listed as exceptional heritage of Wallonia, was restored to its original splendour in the 1970s.This church was built near the former church, which was bequeathed to the Order of the Hospital in 1180 by Gilles de Duras, and close to a former Gallic religious site.As soon as you enter, the hot and white Gobertange limestone gives the building its glow. From the wide transept, the eye is drawn to the semi-circular apse and simple polychrome statues, including one of the patron saint, Médard, an evangelist bishop born in 457, who had a reputation as a ‘rain maker’. If you stare at the statue of the saint you get the impression that he is smiling at you.

This museum has a resolutely memorial function and is dedicated to offering an educational insight into the history of the Second World War and in particular the liberation of Belgium and Walloon Brabant. It features many interesting items of equipment, everyday objects and army documents. The visit to the museum is with the company of the guide and owner of the museum.
