Boxmeer and more

Boxmeer has a number of unique sights, including the Karmelklooster. The Carmelite Monastery in Boxmeer was built between 1653 and 1709. The monastery was founded by Albrecht van den Bergh and Madeleine de Cusance, lord and lady of Boxmeer. The former had to do with both the Catholic Spanish Southern Netherlands and the Protestant Republic of the United Netherlands. To strengthen his own sovereignty over Boxmeer in this tightrope walk between the two powers, he built the monastery.

Boxmeer has a number of sights that are more than worth a visit. In the center of Boxmeer you will find more about the rich history of silversmiths and the special traditional canal as well as beautiful monumental buildings. Just outside the shopping center you will find a unique castle with a museum and chapel and a special lock complex.
Boxmeer borders a number of impressive nature reserves, including the UNESCO-winning Maasheggen.
