Bloomary

The best-preserved metallurgical furnace in the Sauerland was discovered in Neuenrade in 1965 and dated to the 13th century. Iron ore was melted in the furnace. The center of iron production used to be not in the Ruhr region, but in the Sauerland. Protected by a hut, the bloomary can be visited anytime.

Neuenrade Church St. Lambertus in Affeln

Parish church of St. Lambertus in Neuenrade-Affeln

This hall church, built in the 13th century from local quarry stones, can be seen from afar. The Welsche Haube (name for the dome of the church) catches the observer's eye. In the parish church there is a particularly remarkable folding altar to be admired. It dates from 1500 to 1530 AD and is one of the most famous flemish carved altars of the late gothic period.
