Losser

Losser is a municipality in eastern Twente situated near the German border. The landscape features rolling terrain and the Dinkel river, with five separate villages forming the settlement pattern across the area.

The region was shaped mainly by its position along trade routes, with early records documenting daily commerce and life in detail. This trading tradition influenced how the settlements developed over time.

The five villages within this municipality hold deep Catholic roots, visible in their churches and community traditions. These beliefs have shaped local gatherings and celebrations for generations.

The area sits at an elevation of around 35 meters and is accessed via the A1 motorway, offering good connections to larger cities. The rural landscape is easy to explore by car or bicycle.

A church tower built around 1500 survived the demolitions and changes around it. This Martinustoren remains one of the oldest structures in the area.
