Churches from several construction periods

St. Plechelmus Church in Deurningen was built in 1913. The church buildings of St. Plechelmus Church were restored from 2006 to 2012 with the support of many people. The first church in Deurningen dates back even further: it was built next to the rectory in 1787. The first church from 1787 and St. Plechelmus Church from 1913 represent different construction periods in Deurningen.

Chapel and Beldhuismolenhuisje

The chapel known as “Maria kapel” was built in 2008. Part of the engine room has been preserved in the Beldhuismolenhuisje, where an engine once operated a grain mill. Those who find both sacred architecture and preserved technical details interesting can explore these subjects independently of one another. The chapel from 2008 is younger than St. Plechelmus Church, built in 1913. For those interested in culture, sacred architecture and a preserved technical detail from the history of milling can be found side by side here.

Stream landscape and long-distance hiking trail

The Deurningerbeek was restored to its original, meandering bed, allowing nature there to regenerate. Near Deurningen, the Marskramerpad long-distance hiking trail runs along and across the Deurningerbeek and past esch areas and raised fields. The 7 km route to Hoge Vonder and the Marskramerpad long-distance hiking trail differ in format alone. The route to Hoge Vonder remains a clearly defined stretch; the Marskramerpad runs as a long-distance trail through several landscape sections near Deurningen. Both paths pass through the Deurningen landscape, but with different route characteristics.
