Hengelo Attractions

The industrial town of Hengelo (electrical engineering, textiles) lies in the center of the Twente region, near the German frontier. It originally became known for its linen weaving, which was introduced by Wolter ten Cate, a native of Danzig. During the Second World War the town center suffered heavy damage, and now has many modern buildings.

The Roman Basilica from 1890 is a place of interest for visitors to Hengelo.
