Including the cream of the crop in terms of restaurants in our country; because, among other things, the star cases are included in that guide.

Clock church Melick is silent for homes
Church attendance continues to decline, which is why 75 churches have had to close their doors in the past thirty years. Of those 75, 24 have been demolished. The 51 churches that are still there have or will be repurposed as residential or commercial space. This is evident from figures from the Diocese of Roermond. The Sint Andreaskerk in Melick – the only church in the village – will also be given a new purpose. So the ancient bell there will never ring again.
