Experience the fascinating history of a tiny area that was highly desired for its mineral resources: Neutral Moresnet - a ‘micronation' and smugglers' nest, a 'no-man's land' between Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

Discover zinc, the plastic of the 19th century, mining history and the fascinating world of minerals.

What does Kelmis have to do with Napoleon's bathtub? Why was the 3-country-point once a 4-country-point ? You can find the answers to these questions and other exciting stories at the Museum Vieille Montagne - discover our exhibition and learn about local history at an authentic location.
