ClientCounty of Borken, Municipality of Vreden

The „kult“ is the new cultural hub for the town of Vreden and a vibrant focal point on its cultural route. Under its pitched roofs it unites the local museum, educational facilities and archives, a tourist information point and the cultural administration for the county of Borken. Four older architectural buildings, spanning six centuries, are fused with two brand new elements to form a new whole. The readability of each historical layer has been protected and enhanced in the façade arrangement to reflect the richness of the local cultural background.
