Berg — a marlstone church on the Limburg plateau
The spire at Monulphusplein marks the village of Berg from the paths around the plateau.
From the source
Berg is a village on the plateau west of Valkenburg in Dutch Limburg. Its church of Saints Monulphus and Gondulphus was built in 1933. The church tower marks the village above the paths that descend towards the Geul valley.
Editorial reading
The Dutch heritage register records that F.P.J. Peutz and W. Sprenger designed the parish church, completed in 1933 with walls of local marlstone. Its pale stone makes a useful starting point for reading the landscape. North of the village, the Geulhemmerweg descends towards dwellings cut into the marl hillside.
Recommendation
Start at Monulphusplein and use the regional walking route to see the plateau and the descent towards Geulhem. Check guided access before visiting the rock dwellings.
