St. Anna Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sint Annakapel was built in 1896 according to a design by the Roermond architect Nicolaas van der Schuit. The small neo-Gothic chapel is dedicated to Saint Anne, the mother of Mary, and was built as a replacement for an older chapel. Inside, there is a stone altar retable designed by Van der Schuit, original wooden church pews, and a barrel vault with a decorative stucco molding. The furnishings are in the tradition of the workshop of Pierre Cuypers, with whom Van der Schuit worked as a student and collaborator.

Hompesche Windmill

Highlight • Monument

The Hompesche Molen visitor center opened its doors in 2005. The presentation of nature and landscape are combined in a special way with the rustic interior of the mill café. Information about the surrounding area can also be found outside. It is therefore not surprising that the Hompesche Molen is mentioned in the book: “Netherlands - 1000 places you really have to see” by Flip van Doorn.
From here, hikes, excursions, lectures, children's parties and numerous other events are organized. In addition, the Hompesche Molen is an ideal place for meetings, workshops, family reunions, etc. due to its quiet location on the island in the Maas.

The miller is personally present on the first Saturday of every month. He spends the morning grinding animal feed and is happy to answer visitors' questions.
