Kalkar, Hanseatic municipality in Kleve, Germany
Located along the Rhine River, Kalkar features narrow medieval streets, traditional brick buildings, and the Gothic St. Nicolai Church with its nine oak-carved altars.
The town received its municipal rights in 1230 and developed into a trade center within the Hanseatic League network during the Middle Ages.
St. Nicolai Church contains a collection of medieval art, including wooden altars, sculptures, paintings, and modern glass installations reflecting centuries of regional craftsmanship.
The Tourist Information Center operates from the City Museum at Grabenstraße 66, providing guidance about local attractions and seasonal events throughout the year.
The eight-floor windmill, constructed in 1770 using bricks from the former Hanselaer gate, stands as one of the tallest mills in the Lower Rhine region.
