Tourist attractions – various Structure/Modern architecture

The old pastorate, together with the adjacent St. Ambrosius parish church, forms the focal point in the beautiful centre of Ostbevern. The historic half-timbered building dates back to 1640 and is still well preserved today. It combines two functions, that of a parsonage and that of a farmhouse, which was typical of the building style of the time. Typical features, such as a raised chamber compartment inside or a fletch running across the entire width of the house, are still visible today.

The building was converted into an old people's day centre and parish library from 1978 to 1979. A look at the beautiful interior of the parish library is always worthwhile.

Tour information
  • An exterior tour of the half-timbered building is possible at any time.
  • A tour of the inside of the parish library is possible during the stated opening hours.
