Helpfulness
In various places inside and outside the villages the old farmhouses proove the agricultural rich past as well as present. The typical Limburgian farmhouse consists mostly of a front building behind which the stables and help-quarters are built in the form of a square. In the innercourt one could store food, carriages etc. and also do various activities for the catlle (horse shoeing, cleaning). There are many left, also around Jeuk.

You can't miss it ... it sticks out above everything else and is visible from over several kilometres. Driving through the Haspengouw you quickly will notice that villages are visible from an enormous distance as for their church-towers. The peak out over the houses and hills and point out where the village is in which the are situated. This also with Jeuk, where in the village-centre the Saint Joris sticks it's slim tower up in the air and keeps track of time by telling everyone what time it is around the hour (bim - bam - bom). In the morning it still calls out for the mess and the door is always open. Go and have a look inside and feel the serinity of the simple churches that are everywhere. Churches in the villages and towns ... chapels in the fields. Limburgians were and are a religious people.
