In Wehe-Den Hoorn, cultural attractions range from medieval church architecture to art, performances and courses.

During your stay, you can therefore focus on architectural history, cultural events or outdoor activities.
Churches and architectural history
The Sint Bonifatiuskerk was designed by Joseph Th.J. Cuypers and P.J.J.M. Cuypers jr. and built in 1926–1927 in the Expressionist brick style. The Kunstcentrum De Ploeg is located in a listed building dating from 1873, designed by Alfred Tepe in the Neo-Gothic style. The ’t Marnehoes is a former Protestant church dating from the 13th century. Chronologically, the span runs from the 13th century through 1873 to 1926–1927; the later buildings also differ in their Neo-Gothic and Expressionist brick styles.
Art, performances and courses
Kunstcentrum De Ploeg opened its location in Wehe-Den Hoorn in July 2025. It presents exhibitions and organizes activities in the fields of visual art, music, theatre, literature and landscape. As the programme may change, check the current offerings and visitor information before your visit.
The arts centre is easily accessible for wheelchair users and people using walking frames. It has an accessible parking space, a lift and an accessible toilet. These specific facilities can help you plan your visit if accessibility is a consideration.
The ’t Marnehoes hosts theatre and cabaret performances as well as concerts. Since September 2023, the Kultuurhoes in Wehe-Den Hoorn has offered lessons and courses, including a cooking course on Groninger cuisine. Check the current programme in advance if you would like to plan the cooking course for a particular travel period, as its availability depends on the programme.
The cultural offerings vary in format: De Ploeg combines a historic building with several fields of art and culture, the Marnehoes is a venue for performances and concerts, and the Kultuurhoes offers a culinary focus with its Groninger cooking course. You can tailor your stay to the format you prefer and consider current cultural offerings alongside architectural history.
Cycling, walking and canoeing routes
Every year at the end of the summer holidays, the village association and Café Hoornstertil organize a cycling quiz tour of approximately 25 kilometres. If you are travelling specifically for this event, check the date in advance; its seasonal timing makes it something to plan around.
The cycling and walking route around Wehe-Den Hoorn connects to the Wad- en Wierdenpad and the Pieterpad; it also links to the Ede Staalpad. The approximate 25 kilometres refers to the cycling quiz tour, while these connections relate to the route around the village.
There are also suitable canoeing routes around Wehe-Den Hoorn. The former driveway to the Borgweer estate is now used as a cycling path. Alongside the named connections, canoeing routes and a former access road now used for cycling therefore offer different options for outdoor activities.
