Nieuwe Gaard Gardens at Huis Bergh

Highlight • Historical Site

Huis Bergh is a protected country estate with a castle surrounded by an inner moat, a rampart and an outer moat. Behind the castle lies the 18th-century Parkbos de Plantage. The castle gardens are located at the beginning of the Plantage.

The history of this garden and the Plantation goes back to 1461, when there is mention of a 'Tuijn in the Vinkenborch'. Around 1560, Count Willem van de Bergh built the still existing large covered handball court here. Count Willem was married to Maria van Nassau, the eldest sister of William of Orange, as a result of which Huis Bergh Castle and its landscaping were held in high esteem by international nobility. In the course of the 17th and early 18th century, the Plantage was further expanded and embellished into a luxurious and impressive garden design in geometric style. A map from 1727 by the land surveyor Bücker shows the Nieuwe Gaard with the handball court, figure beds, vegetable beds and fruit trees. Several ponds lie along the central axis. Garden and castle were inextricably linked in earlier centuries.

Hulzenberg Lookout Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Hulzenberg lookout tower you have an amazing view of the area. The tower itself is 21 meters high, but once you are at the top you are almost 100 meters above NAP.

St. Vitus Collegiate Church (Collegiate Church of St. Vitus)

Highlight • Religious Site

He is considered the patron saint against paralysis, weakness of the limbs, gout, nervous diseases and all diseases of children.

The town of Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast bears the name of this saint.

In the former abbey church of St. Vitus in Hoch-Elten (Emmerich), a stone representation of Machutus with a handicapped child developed into a place of pilgrimage for the handicapped at the beginning of the 20th century. [4] After research by a Jesuit [5], the sculpture was reshaped by an unknown stonemason from a statue of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus.
