It is a truly beautiful church with beautifully restored ceiling paintings, and there are two special organs. Guides in church during the summer months can tell you much more about this. The church is free to enter, Tues-Fri 2 to 5 and Sat 1 to 4.

Why are those churches in the Netherlands always closed during the week? Take an example from Germany or Belgium.

Beautiful church. What is told on Sunday is also worth it. So not just for tourism ?

Church and main square of the beautiful town of Hattem.

Beautiful church with a true testimony through the life of Pastor Bernardus Hazen. Who took office in 1533 and despite all rejections continued to obey The Path of The Lord Jesus The Messiah and continued to follow His Will in spite of everything. An example for us all

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
