Turkse Moskee - Turkse Moskee

Turkish Mosque

The minaret of the Green Mosque, which was built in one day, is twenty metres high. A minaret belongs on a mosque, just as a tower belongs on a church. The Turkish community sees it as a symbol of their meeting point for prayer, cultural and educational activities.

A local guide provides the tour in this Islamic house of prayer, which was set up next to the pump housing of the former water tower at the highest point of the 'Meulenberg' mining quarter.

The lovely interior with terrific pulpits and elegantly tiled niche that point towards the East (Mekka), is a reference to Oriental Art.

Sint-Martinuskerk - kerk SMV

Sint-Martinuskerk

The village is dominated by the tall ( 23 metres) railway bridge. It is part of the rail connection Tongeren-Aken, built by the Germans in the Great War (World War I). This highlevel overpass links the railway line to the longest rail tunnel of Flanders (2070 metres). The steeple of the St-Martinus church dates back to the 13th century. Reverend Veltmans (1866- 1954) is buried to the left of the church tower. He played an important role in saving the Dutch character of the Voer region. Among the old tombstones on the churchyard there is one from the 16h century. It can be found just behind the graves of an RAF aircraft crew, (their plane crashed in 1944).A little further along the road the Veltmanshuis may be found, named after reverend Veltmans, a former chapterhouse from the first half of the 18th century. Until 1971 it served as the presbytery. Now it is the Cultural Centre of the Flemish Community.
The two central Voer villages of St-Martens and St Pietersvoeren have a concentration of flintstone buildings unequalled anywhere in Flanders. Especially the hamlet of Veurs has a great many old timber frame farmhouses, so characteristic of this region. Most of these dwellings date back to the 18th or the beginning of the 19th century.

John Selbachmuseum mét poppenmuseum - Selbachmuseum

Time travel at the John Selbach Museum

The John Selbach Museum is made up of two sections.
Painting and furniture collection
The John Selbach Museum is located in the former Ursuline Cloister on Boomgaardstraat in the centre of Maaseik. The first section holds the extensive collection of paintings from the 16th to the 19th century, depicting interiors, townscapes, still lives, landscapes, seascapes, animals and portraits.
In many ways then wandering through the museum, visitors take a cultural trip through the museum, visitors take a cultural trip through time. That impression is strengthened by the period rooms from the Renaissance to Biedermeier. The interiors and the zeitgeist are preserved there, too, as visitors are invited tot take a trip back in time.

Dolls and toys
As well as this imposing collection of paintings and furniture, the former cloister also houses hostess Corinne's Doll Museum.
The Doll Museum used to be in Maastricht. Some dolls are made from wood, but there are als dolls made from papier mâché, wax, fabric and biscuit porcelain. Mirroring the paintings set-up, the rooms housing the dolls are furnished in contemporary styles. There are 17th and 18th century period rooms, kitchens and fashion salons. The dolls are exhibited alongside accessories, such as miniature furniture, dinner services, tin toys, teddy bears, trains and other knick-knacks.
