The Atheneum (secondary school) of Hasselt exhibits a small reconstructed dolmen and several standing stones. What you see today is what is left from the Cromlech of Kapelveld, unearthed at the end of the 19th century in a nearby village : Diepenbeek.
In 1904, about 15 stones were laid in front of the main building of the Atheneum to form a Stones Circle -- see the "vintage" photo. During WWII, they have been moved. After the war, they have been rearranged, still in front if the Atheneum, but no longer to form a Stones Circle.
