Culture between the church, mill and estate

The H.H. Simon and Jude Church in Lattrop is a Roman Catholic cross basilica designed by Joseph Cuypers and Pierre Cuypers Jr. and completed in 1936. As a pure example of Art Deco architecture, it creates a distinctive architectural feature in Lattrop.

The Oortmanmolen combines local history with craftsmanship. It was built in 1779 in Tjamsweer as an oil mill connected to a hulling mill, brought to Lattrop in 1910 and rebuilt there as a grain mill. Every week, grain is traditionally milled at the Oortmanmolen into flour for bakers and butchers in Twente.

Huis te Breckelenkamp originated from a manor house built in 1572 on the site of the Tyhuiss. The park surrounding Huis te Breckelenkamp is a rare and well-preserved example of a Dutch classical-style estate. Part of the archive is open to everyone.

Landscape at Bergvennen and the Dinkel

Bergvennen & Brecklenkampse Veld in Lattrop-Breklenkamp is a Natura 2000 landscape with semi-open heathland, woodland, small peat lakes and grassland. At a birdwatching hide, visitors can observe birds and ducks at the fens.

The Beneden-Dinkeldal follows the course of the Dinkel and includes Ottershagen, a unique meadow bird area. In the surroundings of Lattrop, the Ottershagenschöpke birdwatching hut offers a view over the open landscape of the Beneden-Dinkeldal, where wetland and meadow birds can be observed seasonally.

Routes for cycling, walking and canoeing

The 8 km Jongkind Route is a walking route along paved and unpaved paths in the surroundings of Lattrop-Breklenkamp. The 32 km Jongkind Route is a recreational cycling route through the landscape in the same area. A 25 km cycling tour through the Beneden-Dinkeldal starts at Erfgoed Bossem in Lattrop-Breklenkamp.

The different route lengths help you adjust your daily planning to the desired level of activity and connect your choice of holiday apartment with the experiences you have planned. Outside the breeding season, the Dinkel can be explored by canoe with a permit. In clear weather, visitors can look through large telescopes at Sterrenwacht Cosmos.

Jongkind as a thread running through the village

Lattrop is the birthplace of the painter Johan Barthold Jongkind. The Jongkindmonument stands at the former site of Jongkind's birthplace and is a small architectural monument in Saxon style. In this way, the village's history complements the routes bearing his name with a tangible connection to Lattrop.
