Neukirchen-Vluyn

Neukirchen-Vluyn is a medium-sized district town in Wesel, North Rhine-Westphalia, that combines residential areas with green spaces. The municipality spans several districts and features a mix of built-up areas and open landscapes.

The town developed through coal mining and agriculture, industries that shaped its economy for many decades. The 18th-century castle Bloemersheim and preserved miners' colonies remain as reminders of this industrial past.

The Kulturhalle hosts exhibitions that document the area's agricultural and mining past through local artifacts and photographs. These collections show how these industries shaped the community and the way people lived and worked here.

The town is accessible by public transportation, and the wir4mobil service offers on-demand rides for residents and visitors. The area is well-suited for exploring by bicycle or on foot, with numerous paths throughout and around town.

Bloemersheim castle hosts classical music concerts in its courtyard, transforming the historic space into a cultural venue throughout the year. The surrounding area features an extensive network of riding and hiking trails that wind through woods and fields.
