Weert

Looking at the rail map I didn't expect Weert to be in Limburg, thought it was in North Brabant, but then I remembered that Limburg's history has made Limburg quite an oddly shaped province with bizarre borders. So, on a rainy spring morning, I set off curious to see what Weert held in store. I found a rather sleepy town, with no one on the streets and even the Bells of the St Martinskerk, were in vain as they rang out for no one across an empty square.

I read that this church is listed on the top 100 building of national heritage (something to do with paintings in the vault) I tried to find a way in but it was locked up which further reduced the usefulness of the those ringing bells. Across the square a closed museum, (under construction but a nice looking building). I ventured onward to a newer area called Ursulinhof and after seeing that name for some time around this region I finally remembered the religious order the Ursuline which I assume this new part of town was build on their land.
