's-Heerenberg Attractions

There is an interesting museum of spare-time art, evolution and extra-sensory perception.

North of 's-Heerenberg in the hilly Montferland area, which rises to 93m/305ft, is the Bergher Bos, an expanse of mixed woodland which was originally a coniferous forest.

The Gouden Handen leisure park at Emmerikseweg 13 is housed in the grounds of a former monastery.

A round keep built here in the 12th century developed in the 15th century into a tower house, which was enlarged in the 17th century to become the family seat of the Counts van den Bergh. The house has suffered some damage over the centuries.

To be found in the castle is a notable collection of medieval art.

Prominent landmarks in the town center are the Late Gothic Town Hall (Stadhuis) with its octagonal tower (1580) and the restored Old Mint (Oude Grafelijke Munt), which dates from the 15th century.
