Within the city limits, the Kermisdahl changes its name and becomes the navigable Spoy Canal, which flows into the Rhine via the Old Rhine near Schenkenschanz. The Spoy Canal, begun around 1400 by the city of Kleve, was further excavated and made navigable again during the governorship of Johann Moritz from 1647 to 1679. It is the oldest still navigable canal in Germany.

The Kermisdahl, the old river channel near Kleve, was known in the Middle Ages as "den alde Rijn," and the city wall surrounding Kleve along the waterway was called the "Rheinmauer." "Kermisdael" was initially a field name on the moraine ridge. The name gradually migrated down the hill and eventually came to refer to the body of water. The Kermisdahl is fed by surface water from the ridge and by the drainage ditch "Wetering," which begins near "Haus Horst." Within the city limits, the Kermisdahl changes its name and becomes the navigable Spoy Canal, which flows into the Rhine via the Old Rhine near Schenkenschanz.

Unfortunately, the Spoy Canal is often overgrown with algae in the summer; not a pretty sight.

There are really a lot of great figures/sculptures here.

"Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament... Built in 1860 as a confession chapel for Dutch pilgrims | Rededicated in 1953 as the Brother Konrad Chapel | Blessed Sacrament Chapel since 1975..." https://blattus.de/archiv/kaz/texte/s_kaz/sakramentskapelle.html

"...The parish of Kevelaer was established in 1472 by separating from the parish of Weeze. The small, east-facing, Gothic village church, built around 1450, remained unchanged until the 19th century. The reconstructed remains of this building are integrated into the current modern church interior and are used as a chapel. A larger, magnificently designed, neo-Gothic church with the approximate floor plan of the present main building was erected only after the construction of the Basilica of Our Lady and was consecrated in 1904. During the Second World War, the church was largely destroyed and rebuilt in 1952. In order to bring the church into compliance with the requirements of the Second Vatican Council, a comprehensive renovation, particularly of the chancel, took place in 1972 (i.e., for the 500th anniversary of the parish's founding). On January 13, 1982, the church burned down to its foundations; only the outer walls of the chapel, the baptistery, the sacristy, and the chancel survived." The chancel and the tower. The modern new building, constructed on the historical foundations, was designed by Dieter Georg Baumewerd. Renowned artists such as Theo Heiermann, Bert Gerresheim, and Joachim Klos created the interior furnishings. On January 17, 1987, the rebuilt church was consecrated by Bishop Reinhard Lettmann. In addition to its regular use as a parish church, St. Antonius, due to its convenient location at the end of the park-like open-air Stations of the Cross, is a popular choice for pilgrimage groups from afar as the site for their final prayers… https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Antonius_(Kevelaer)

"The St. Marien parish owns and operates the large cemetery grounds on Römerstraße. Together with the large Stations of the Cross that borders the cemetery, it forms Kevelaer's green lung, situated right in the town center. Parts of the cemetery are listed as historical monuments, and it contains a number of monuments worthy of preservation, for which the parish council has been working diligently for years. This led to the launch of a campaign entitled 'Acquire the right to use a burial plot with a monument worthy of preservation now.'" https://www.wallfahrt-kevelaer.de/einrichtungen/friedhof
