Hiking

Classicist church with Romanesque tower, located on a hill planted with an orchard just north of the village center, and surrounded by the walled cemetery; The Voer flows along the cemetery wall. The hill on which the tower is located is artificial: drilling on site revealed an approximately 1 meter thick layer of rubble on top of a burn layer; an older building therefore preceded the Romanesque tower.

In the cemetery around the church you can find the final resting place of the crew of an RAF plane that crashed in 1941.

Saint Martin, to whom the 'Sint-Martinuskerk' is consecrated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - probably one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrendered half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. Martin then converted to Christianity and was later elected Bishop of Tours (France) - initially against his will.
