Museum Church

The Museum Church is located at the place-to-be: Groenplaats in Oud-Rekem. After a difficult and lengthy start, the church was finally reopened in 1774. In 1956, when it become clear that the church was not large enough to accommodate the increasing numbers of parishioners from Rekem and Wezet, the decision was made to build a larger church in Kleinveld. After having been the centre of Rekem's parochial life for two centuries, the old parish church was taken over by the municipal authorities that same year to be turned into a museum.

Under the motto ‘A church becomes a church again’, the interior was restored to its original grandeur. Following a thorough renovation in 2015, it can once again be admired in all its glory.
