Herentals, a city with a deeply rooted history, branched out into so many beautiful things, in cultural heritage in people and families, in churches and commerce, in monasteries and trees... Trees from the Mons nuns' region, Waldetrudis. An uprooted tree from which a trade could develop. A trade, an industry that gave so many families, life, food, fruit from the soil. To plant new trees, to grow new branches to grow the roots into an everlasting city with a great and strong influence. Whose industry defines the region. Proud and with strong roots that can make a city thrive.
