Ascheberg

Ascheberg offers concrete architectural landmarks alongside a variety of cycling options to help you plan your trip. St. Lambertus Church is in Ascheberg; further cultural destinations are located in Davensberg, within the municipality. The tree routes run through Herbern and Ascheberg. This lets you arrange the different themes according to your interests: architecture, a museum and chapel, or a cycling tour with a particular focus.

Buildings in Ascheberg and Davensberg

St. Lambertus Church in Ascheberg is a Gothic hall church. Johann Conrad Schlaun designed its chancel in 1740. This means that two specific architectural features come together in the same building: the church’s Gothic hall-church design and the dated design of the chancel. For a culture-focused stay, this offers a thematic introduction to the town’s architectural history.

A museum is now housed in the preserved castle tower in Davensberg. Visits are only possible by prior arrangement, so please arrange your museum visit in advance. St. Anna Castle Chapel, with a famous folding altar by Brabender, is also in Davensberg. The museum and chapel offer different cultural points of interest in the town.

Tree routes and cycle route

The tree routes run through Herbern and Ascheberg to particularly striking trees and provide information about them. The trees are both destinations and the focus of the information provided. The cycle route offers a different emphasis: the described section runs from the edge of Ascheberg, at the intersection of the B58 and Davensberger Straße (L844), along the country road to the village of Davensberg. Its boundaries are thus defined by a named starting point and destination. When comparing the cycling options, you can choose between a tree-themed tour and the specific cycle-route section described here.
