Sint-Martinus Church Neer

Highlight • Religious Site

The oldest part of the current church is the tower base, which is made of brick with marlstone on the inside. It dates from the second half of the 14th century. There is also a consecration stone from 1447, which refers to the consecration of a Gothic pseudo-basilica made of brick. This church was extended in 1830 with a trave and a new choir. In 1895 the south aisle was restored and provided with an entrance part in the neo-Gothic style. In 1909 the building was demolished and a new church building was built in the neo-Gothic style, which was put into use in 1910.

Kanaalweg Oost

Highlight (Segment) • River

From the lock in the direction of Roermond, it goes between the Lateraal Canal and the Meuse/lakes in the direction of Roermond. During the week there is hardly any traffic here and it is easy to drive.
I would avoid weekends (especially when the weather is nice), because that's when there are a lot of German tourists on the road, and of course they think the cycle paths and protective lanes are parking spaces especially for their stupid SUVs. Special German-language signs were put up for these potatoes, stating that parking on cycle paths is prohibited :-/
