I love Jesus!

The parish funds 159e / day. Very bad way to act. Personally, I would do otherwise.

Kustavin kaunis kirkko taajamassa, päätien varrella. Kannattaa käydä katsomassa. Koko kirkon miljöö on hyvin säilynyt ja hyvin pidetty kunnossa, vanhaa kunnioittaen.

Beautiful simple wooden church with some interesting details including organ, preaching chair and handcrafted beautiful sailing ships. The joining bell tower adds a nice touch to this idyllic place of worship.

Krickenbeck Castle

Krickenbeck moated castle is one of the oldest on the lower Rhine. Its history dates back to the year 1104, when the castle was first mentioned. It is unclear why the old castle, which was certainly inhabited by Count Reginar, was abandoned or destroyed. In the mid-13th century the castle was moved to the current location. At the end of the 14th century the new castle belonged to the Counts of Kleve.

Johann Friedrich II of Schesaberg converted the castle into a Baroque mansion between 1708-1721. On September 7, 1902, a fire destroyed the entire mansion. From 1903 to 1904, a three-winged castle was built in the Neo-Renaissance style. Today Krickenbeck is a conference center.
