This serene Gothic church, standing just across the Aa River, offers a peaceful moment with its simple yet elegant architecture. Its name, meaning "Over the Water," hints at its scenic location.

A modest house with a powerful story—this is where the White Rose resistance movement had its Münster base. A place of quiet reflection on the fight against oppression during WWII.
