When you arrive in Beyenburg it’s hard to believe that you are still in the city. It’s so green and quiet here. And yet, impressive testimonies to the past lie in store.
It used to be much louder and livelier here as Beyenburg was a regular stop on one of the most important trade routes to and from Cologne and the Way of St James pilgrimage route. Local trade and the hospitality industry flourished as a result. Merchants found accommodation in the village and pilgrims stayed at the Steinhaus monastery.
The trade routes changed over the centuries and Beyenburg's importance dwindled. What has remained, however, is the enchanting countryside around the Beyenburg reservoir, beautiful half-timbered houses, the Beyenburg monastery and the important 14th century St Mary Magdalene cloister church. It is one of the finest examples of late Gothic architecture in the region and is affectionately known as “Beyenburg Cathedral”.
