Culture between the church and open studios

The Oude of Pancratiuskerk in Brummen is a single-nave late Gothic church with a three-sided chancel. During the restoration, a side aisle with an extension was built in 1937. For a cultural stay, this building offers a clear historical connection without requiring you to devote the entire day to a single subject. The Open Atelierdagen offer another approach to art: ten artists open their doors to visitors together on four weekends each year.

Cycling routes for history and landscapes
