Discover Wehe-Den Hoorn

Wehe-Den Hoorn offers several distinct starting points for a stay: church and architectural history, art and events, as well as routes for cycling, walking and canoeing. If you are looking for a hotel in Wehe-Den Hoorn, it helps to first consider which of these themes you want your trip to focus on. This will help you match the various cultural activities and routes to your interests.

Churches and architecture

The Sint Bonifatiuskerk was designed by Joseph Th.J. Cuypers and P.J.J.M. Cuypers jr. and built in 1926–1927 in the Expressionist brick style. The term combines the building material, brick, with an artistic classification. ’t Marnehoes offers a different historical point of reference: the former Protestant church dates from the 13th century. Wehe-Den Hoorn is thus home to both a 20th-century building and a church with medieval origins.

Theatre and cabaret performances, as well as concerts, are held at ’t Marnehoes. The former church building is therefore also a venue for stage and music events. If you are including architectural history and cultural events in your plans, it is worth distinguishing between the building’s enduring historical significance and specific event dates.

Kunstcentrum De Ploeg

Kunstcentrum De Ploeg is located in a listed building dating from 1873, designed by Alfred Tepe in the Neo-Gothic style. Its location in Wehe-Den Hoorn opened in July 2025. The two dates refer to different things: 1873 is the year the building was constructed, while July 2025 is when the location opened. The art centre presents exhibitions and organises activities in the fields of visual art, music, theatre, literature and landscape. The programme may change; if you are planning around a particular theme, check the latest information. Its offering extends beyond visual art to cover several cultural fields.

The art centre is easily accessible for wheelchair users and people using walking frames. Facilities include an accessible parking space, a lift and an accessible toilet.

Courses and regional cuisine

Classes and courses began at the Kultuurhoes in Wehe-Den Hoorn in September 2023. These include a cooking course on Groninger cuisine. Please check the current programme to confirm its availability if you would like to include the course in your plans. The cooking course has a specific culinary focus, while the art centre’s programme centres on exhibitions and activities across several areas of art and culture. This distinction can help you tell a particular course topic apart from a broader cultural programme.

Routes, cycling paths and canoeing

The cycling and walking route around Wehe-Den Hoorn connects with the Wad- en Wierdenpad and the Pieterpad, and also links to the Ede Staalpad. This gives you three named connections to bear in mind when finding your way on foot or by bicycle. The routes around Wehe-Den Hoorn are also suitable for canoeing. The options therefore vary by activity: the route around the village is described as a cycling and walking route, while the routes are also suitable for canoeing.

Another cycling connection has a historical link: the former driveway to the Borgweer estate is now a cycle path. Every year at the end of the summer holidays, the village association and Café Hoornstertil organise a cycling puzzle tour of approximately 25 kilometres. If you would like to plan your trip around this event, check the date in advance. This will help you distinguish between a cycling tour at the end of the summer holidays, the connected cycling and walking routes, and the routes suitable for canoeing.
