Kerk at St. Martens-Voeren

The village St. Martens-Voeren (Dutch name) or Fourons Saint Martins (French name) is centrally located in De Voerstreek, one hill away from South Limburg in The Netherlands, or the French speaking Wallonie, a Belgian region.

The steeple of the St-Martinus church dates back to the 13th century. Reverend Veltmans (1866- 1954) is buried to the left of the church tower. He played an important role in saving the Dutch character of the Voer region. Among the old tombstones on the churchyard there is one from the 16h century. It can be found just behind the graves of an RAF aircraft crew, (their plane crashed in 1944).
