The lime kilns in Hasselt are historic structures once used to produce lime by burning limestone. These industrial monuments date back to the early 20th century and played an important role in the local economy. Today, they serve as a reminder of the town's industrial past and can be visited as part of a scenic walking route.

The Grote St. Stephanuskerk in Hasselt is a historic church built in the late Gothic style. It features a tall tower, a beautiful organ, and impressive wall paintings inside. The church is still used for services and cultural events today.

Van Stolkspark in Hasselt is a beautiful English‐style landscape park laid out in the 19th century on an old bastion, featuring winding paths, diverse trees—including exotic species—and the distinctive kidney‑shaped lawn originally planted by the Van Stolk family. It now includes a restored music pavilion and aviary and serves as a peaceful arboretum and community space with wheelchair‑friendly paths and a children’s nature playground.
