Sights

There is so much to see in Asten; how about the beautiful castle ruins in Asten-Heusden, the Holy Mary Presentation Church in the center of Asten (also known as the Cathedral of De Peel), Molen de Oostenwind which is still in use and much more. Tip: Discover Asten through the Proverbs Path; this walk runs through the center of Asten and can be followed via bronze plaques, which are all provided with spells that relate to Asten. Also fun for children. Looking for more background information? Then discover the center of Asten on foot with the booklet 'Walking through Asten'. Both routes are available at VVV Asten.
