Hiking

St. Clemens Church in the middle of the village is the main attraction. Three churches have stood on this site over the centuries. The first stone church dates from 1350-1400, followed by a three-aisled cruciform church built between 1420-1440. After a fire in 1612, the current church was built in Kempen Gothic style, with parts of the previous church integrated. Between 1887 and 1889 the church was given a neo-Gothic interior. Vincent van Gogh painted the church in 1883.
