Sint-Pieterskerk, Teuven - kerk teuven

Sint-Pieterskerk, Teuven

Teuven is situated in a lovely undulating landscape, surrounded by extensive forests. The neogothic St Pieters church from 1870 towers high above the rest of the village.
Teuven has two castles. Firstly, ‘De Hoof‘, formerly the dwelling place of the local lords
The Flemish community purchased it in 1985 and it was re-decorated and re-furbished privately afterwards. It is now exploited as a hotel and restaurant.
Secondly, the former abbey of Sinnich which has been in private possession since the French Revolution. From around 1250 the Augustinian nuns lived here in an abbey which was founded from Kloosterrade (Rolduc) – now Dutch Limburg.Only daughters of noble descent were admitted to the community of Sinnich. The stone Roman steeple from the 13th century is the only remaining landmark that goes back to these starting years.
The tower and the frontispiece, designed by the Aken architect Couven (1750) may just be spotted from the road. However, just like the other castles of Voeren, this castle is also not open to the public.

Museumkerk Oud-Rekem - 2

Museumchurch ´Oud Rekem`

The main building on the Groenplaats is the baroque Sint-Pieterskerk. In 1704, Count Ferdinand d’Aspremont-Lynden of Reckheim signed an agreement with the Bishop of Liège, stating that he was allowed to demolish the parish church on the castle estate, provided that he would build a new one elsewhere.

A number of farms on the Groenplaats were expropriated to free up space for the construction of a new church. Work commenced that same year. However, the count did not keep his promise. As soon as the choir and part of the nave were ready, he stopped the works due to lack of money. The actual reason was an old feud between the clergy and the count family.

The church remained unfinished until 1722, the year in which pastor Maghin was appointed pastor van Rekem. The latter was very pleased that Countess Antonia, a sister of Count Ferdinand, was prepared to intervene financially, so that the construction work could be resumed. Unfortunately, the church was not spared from disaster afterwards. In 1755 a fire broke out in the small town of Reckheim and together with 21 houses the church partially burned down. After the difficult start of 1704, the church now remained as a ruin until it was put back into use in 1774.

Because the church became too small years later due to the increasing number of parishioners from Rekem and Visé, a larger church was built in 1956 in the Kleinveld. After being the center of Rekem's parochial life for two centuries, the old parish church was taken over by the city council in the same year to be converted into a museum.

Under the motto "church becomes church again", the interior was restored to its original form and after a thorough restoration in 2015, it can now be admired in all its glory.

Museumapotheek Oud-Rekem - 2

Museumpharmacy

At the Groenplaats in Oud-Rekem, the most beautiful village in Flanders, there is an attractive building from 1820. Part of this building is furnished as a museum pharmacy with a doctor's cabinet. It was once the private pharmacy of a doctor who made his own medicine. At the time, a doctor was also a surgeon, dentist, gynecologist and even coroner.

You will not only see shelves full of pots filled with products from the 19th century, but you will even find an original delivery chair, delivery bars and coroner material in the doctor's old office. Continue your way under the guidance of an experienced guide and discover a collection of glass stones and pots, scales, measuring and mixing cups, medical books and so on!

We owe the original state of this to the Humblé family, which housed the drugstore annex pharmacy from the 19th century. In 1891 there came a doctor's practice from Dr Gerard Humblé. His son, Dr. Fans Humblé, continued the practice until 1970. In 1985 the content of the practice was transferred to VZW Renovatie Rekem.
