On the trail of history through Werne

The sights of the historic town centre reveal stories of times gone by - if you want to know more, a guided tour of the town is just the thing for you. The classic tour lasts about 1.5 hours and leads to the most important sights of the town. These include, above all, the parish church of St. Christopher with the surrounding warming huts, the town museum with its historical archives and the 13th/14th century chasuble, the Old Town Hall located on the market square, the Capuchin monastery and the Old Stone House.
Or you can stroll through the cosy town centre on your own and browse through Werner's shopping variety. The predominantly owner-operated shops offer personal service and thus a very special shopping experience. "Quality and freshness from the region" are the hallmarks of Werner's weekly market. Every Tuesday and Friday it takes place on the market square against the backdrop of the historic town hall from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
