Guided Story

Do you feel the quiet that surrounds you here? This ruin holds the stories of Bant, a parish lost to the Antoniflut in 1511. Imagine the people who once lived here, seeking refuge in the nearby Neuende for their church services after the flood. If you look to your left, you might catch a glimpse of the Pumpwerk, bustling with life, much like Bant used to be. The ruin was later rebuilt to keep the memory alive. As you wander among the stones, let the serenity seep in. Here, in this silent witness, you can almost hear whispers of the past.
