Turnhout, Historical municipality in Flemish Region, Belgium
The administrative center of Antwerp Province spans across 56 square kilometers and features numerous public squares connected by pedestrian-friendly streets.
Turnhout received its official city rights from Henry I, Duke of Brabant in 1212, establishing itself at the intersection of major trade routes.
The medieval Saint Peter's Church and thirteenth-century Beguinage represent the architectural heritage that earned UNESCO recognition for the city.
