Relics Thomas a Kempis

Zwolle, relics Thomas a Kempis

The relics of Thomas a Kempis (ca. 1380-1472), mystic, author of the Imitatio Christi. In November 2005, these relics have been transferred - as a translator I feel tempted to say 'translated' - from St. Michaels Church, where Jennie played the organ until 1994, to the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe Basiliek or Peperbus in the town centre. I never paid much attention to them while they were in St. Michaels, but the neo-Gothic shrine containing the relics is a must see ... if you are interested in relics.

Zwolle, Spoolderberg

Somewhat mysterious track leading up to the top of a small mound called Spoolderberg - an important meeting place during the Middle Ages. I've read somewhere that this is where the townspeople or local farmers met their feudal lords. Within walking distance of the park "Het Engelsche Werk".

Go to KAMPEN, 20 km away from Zwolle. Kampen is much nicer, more authentic! Kampen is a medieval town, with narrow streets. In kampen there are also loads of Christian girls, giggling all the time. But the environment in which they giggle is much nicer, know what I mean? Go to the café Mondriaan.

Park

Part of the defense works around the town of Zwolle, presumably an old bunker or ammunition depot
