Mennonite Museum
image author: Rüdiger Poweleit According to local tradition Menno Simons's print shop was located at the Mennokate (small cottage). The Fresenburger prints appeared during the last five years of Menno Simons's life (died 1561). The house made from fieldstones and bricks of the old format has a white plastered outside. The house and the lime tree in front are subject to monumental protection. The lime tree has probably been planted by Menno Simons.
Museum
It was possible to obtain bit-by-bit works and scripts by and about Menno Simons and the Mennonites for the in 1962/63 arranged museum rooms. Maps, engravings and pictures point to Menno Simons's birthplace and activity sphere. Further material gives information about the spreading and history of the Mennonites. Menno Simons was one of their most distinguished teacher and preacher. There is a memorial stone next to the Mennokate (small cottage) as a reminder of him.
