Galloway cattle in the Hobokense Polder

Highlight • Natural

More and more Galloways are used in nature management. In earlier times, large and small grazers formed the landscape. However, many of these wild grazers are extinct in our regions. Instead, cattle breeds that are closely related to their wild ancestors are now being introduced. The Galloway is a bovine with many primitive features. It is a social animal that lives in a herd and can be released in small groups in nature reserves. It is very well adapted to outdoor life and requires little care. For example, it does not need any help with calving, it does not need to be milked and it finds sufficient food, so that additional feeding is not necessary. Because it does not only eat grasses and grazes some parts more or less, the diversity of the landscape increases. Its friendly and quiet character is ideal in nature areas with a high number of visitors.
Still this. Despite the very gentle character, these animals are not tame and cannot be compared to the cows we know from the farm. It is also important that the animals retain their self-reliance and do not become dependent on humans. It is therefore asked to leave the animals alone, not to walk towards them and not to feed them. It is also best to keep the dog on a leash!

Church of the Nativity of Our Lady

Highlight • Religious Site

It is an oriented five-aisled brick church building, the oldest parts of which date from the 17th century, but which is largely neo-Gothic. The choir and north transept are the most important 17th century parts and are built in sandstone.

Gravenhof Castle with park

Highlight • Castle

Gravenhof Castle was built in 1897 and later served as a police station until it was destroyed by a firebomb. The building was renovated into a cultural center with a theater hall, cafeteria and office space for the employees of the culture and youth service.

The park garden was completely redesigned in 2018. New park roads were created and planting with perennials and flower bulbs now provides lots of color.
