My husband and I recently visited this mustard mill. There are numerous mustards available for tasting. It was fairly crowded when we went and we didn't get a chance to try some of the other food items. Nor did we take the tour of the mustard factory (not in English but I bet it would be interesting). Also note that they only accept cash. But we got some wonderful and unique mustards. Germany has the best mustard!

We know Patrick Reyntiens very well and he regards this as perhaps one of the best things he has done. He did the Catholic cathedral in Liverpool and the remarkable war memorial window in Coventry cathedral as well. Those were with Sir John Piper and Cochem was done with Graham Jones who did the colour while Patrick Reyntiens did the painting. The church was largely destroyed in the war and then rebuilt in the early 50s. The Reyntiens/Jones windows were done within the last 6 years To understand the windows you have to understand the biblical stories they represent. The detail and clarity is extraordinary and we spent well over an hour looking at them. Unfortunately the church has explanatory leaflets, but only in German. If you want to see the work of one of the great exponents of stained glass of the 20th century, then you should look at these windows. Don't be surprised by some of the humour and some of the ideas which may seem a little inappropriate for a church but in fact are brilliant. Patrick Reyntiens' knowledge of the scriptures means that whet you see is absolutely relevant.
