Timeline

Grab a drink at The New Inn. Their terrace offers a direct view of the Saint Pancras Church, letting you track the light as it fades. The pub is open until 23:00 on weekdays and 24:00 on weekends, so it is ready for your pre-sunset arrival.

Step out onto the street to watch the sunset. The Saint Pancras Church is the oldest building in Kraainem, with a massive Roman tower that once served a military function. As the sun sets toward the WSW, the stone facade catches the final golden light before the sky turns blue.
19:04
Return to The New Inn to finish your drink. The evening chill sets in quickly after sunset, and the terrace remains a pleasant spot to linger as the town lights begin to flicker on.
Local tip
The church tower has walls up to 1.7 meters thick. Check the route if you need to find the exact path from your starting point to the church square.
