Tourist information in the FARB
Stadt Borken -Maik Büger

Forum Altes Rathaus Borken (FARB)

Borken

The building ensemble consisting of the old town hall and the Gothic Heilig-Geist-Kirche church was opened in 2020 with a modern concept as a place for art, culture, leisure and togetherness. Under one roof, the museum and exhibition house, the tourist information office and the cultural office offer a diverse program.

Tourist information

The foyer is the welcome point for Borkens guests and the first address for leisure tips. The region can be discovered from here. The T-Info is also the business and advance booking office of the cultural community of the city of borken.

The staff at the tourist information office are on hand to provide visitors with help and advice on all aspects of their vacation. They provide support before and during your stay in Borken and give valuable tips.

From selling cycling maps and event tickets, hiring bicycles and cargo bikes to finding accommodation, the Tourist-Info in Borken is the best place to go.

Cultural office

From the FARB, we keep an eye on the entire cultural scene in Borken. We network and promote cultural players and organize cultural events.

Museum and exhibition center

Our collection on the town's history, diverse special exhibitions and the event hall fill the entire building with a fascinating program. Our printing workshop, a small branch at Brinkstr. 24 - just a few meters from FARB - keeps old printing techniques alive with a team of volunteers.

Events in the hall

Initially a church, later the venue for council meetings: Our hall has a long history. Today it brings culture and the public together in a special atmosphere.
