In the middle of Pancratius Square is the Saint Pancratius Church, the beating heart of Heerlen for centuries. Built in the 12th century, this Romanesque church is not only a place of reflection, but also a tangible reminder of the city's rich history. The impressive tower from 1394 once served as a defense tower within Landsfort Herle.
Since 1954, Heerleners have been stepping onto the streets in style thanks to Harry Maas Fashion Shoes. From generation to generation, everything here revolves around quality, service and shoes with character. Whether you're looking for a pair for work, parties or leisure — you'll always walk well here.
In the 1930s, an extraordinary building was built in Heerlen: the Glass Palace. It was very modern and innovative for that time. It originally served as a fashion house. Architect Frits Peutz designed the modernist building for entrepreneur Peter Schunck. Due to its height and large glass areas, it was quickly nicknamed 'the Glass Palace'.
For those who want to look beyond the blockbuster: at Filmhuis De Spiegel, you'll see the most beautiful stories from around the world. From striking arthouse films to moving documentaries — this cozy cinema in the heart of Heerlen, housed in one of the city's most iconic buildings, is a place for true film lovers.
Dreaming of that warm atmosphere in your living room? At Fez Feelz, you can simply bring the sun, colors and stories of Morocco into your home. From hand-woven rugs to characterful ceramics, from poufs that invite you to relax to lamps that make your interior shine – you'll find it all here.
Here beats the heart of the festival. The biggest battles, the sickest crews, and an audience that feels every move down to their toes. During the day, dancers go at each other (figuratively) in the Breaking Games and solo battles, in the evening it becomes one big party with the legendary "Remember the Time" party. If you can only visit one place at IBE, let it be this one.
Café Pelt has been a household name in the city for years and has been the beating brown café heart of Heerlen's hospitality industry for three decades. The (brasserie) menu is full of flavor and offers a course in Heerlen's dialect. Whether you come to eat, have a drink or just catch up — at Pelt, you're always in the right place.
