North of Rees, the oldest town on the Lower Rhine, lies Hueth Castle, built in the 14th century, between the Rhine, Old Rhine, Millinger Meer and the Hetter nature reserve. The moat, the old stock of trees and the meadow orchards ensure a unique idyll. Today the castle houses three holiday homes. See also: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Hueth

Saint John the Baptist (also Johannes Baptist), to whom this church in Dornick is consecrated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth, after the proclamation of the Incarnation through her, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, namely John the Baptist. He is six months older than Jesus and is considered to be his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, there Jesus also comes to be baptized, and he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who comes down on him from heaven. The feast day of John the Baptist (Baptist) in the saints calendar is on June 24th, exactly six months before 'Christmas Eve'.
