The Church of Our Lady in Alsemberg has a special addition: a time capsule placed in the church tower on Monday, October 26. This initiative, in collaboration with local schools, leaves a tangible message for future generations.

The time capsule was filled with photos, drawings, and other mementos reflecting daily life in Beersel today. Students from participating schools played a significant role in conceptualizing the contents, showcasing how Beersel residents live in 2026. This project offers students the opportunity to actively participate in preserving heritage.
When the capsule is eventually reopened, future generations will discover how the inhabitants of Beersel lived in 2026, serving as a valuable testament to community life in the municipality.
