Medieval market in Heerlen-Centrum

Event

Date:  

Time:   -

Location: Pancratius Square-North

Everyone, of course, knows the Roman history of Heerlen, and that of the mines. But at the Pancratius Square there are still parts of the old medieval fortified town of Herle: the Pancratius Church and not to forget, the Schelmentoren. The latter monumental building was part of the walled Landsfort, but the north tower of the church was also part of the fortress.

To pay attention to Heerlen's medieval past, we are organizing a craft market with various craftsmen, such as a potter, tailor, writer and shoemaker. In addition to these crafts, you can also build the Schelmentoren from blocks and shoot crossbows. Do you like theater? Then enjoy a puppet theater. Is music more your thing? Music company Slag ende Stoot will play on the square.

Do you want to experience how people dressed in the Middle Ages? Then dress up in authentic medieval clothing and have your picture taken with it.

To draw extra attention to the Schelmentoren, which owes its name to its prison cells, a trial will take place at 2 p.m. In addition, the guides of the Pancratius Church will be ready to highlight the history of this building.
