- 2 Old settlement, Lintfort, Moerser-, Ring-, August- and Franzstraße. 76 hectare, listed miners' settlement in the style of the garden city. Belongs to Industrial Heritage Route.
- In 1907, work began on the Friedrich Heinrich colliery (today the West Mine, closed since 2012), and in 1909 the construction of the associated workers' settlement began. The oldest part is located between Ringstrasse, Albertstrasse and Ebertstrasse, where 1 1/2 to 2-storey houses were put together in groups of two and three. All had open front gardens as well as garden land for their own cultivation and a stable.
- The second construction phase lasted until World War I, it opened up the area to Moerser Strasse, Ringstrasse, Barbarastrasse, Alfredstrasse and Auguststrasse. Here the houses are constructed in a similar way, but with more varied architectural details. Between the world wars, several architects tried their hand at other streets, so that the appearance here is very inconsistent. In the 1950s, 6,000 people lived in 2,200 apartments.
- In the 1970s, there was renovation work with demolitions and the construction of high-rise buildings (the white giants), and further sins of construction were prevented after the settlers protested. The houses were renovated, equipped with modern comfort (private bathroom in the house) and mostly sold to the residents. Today the largest factory settlement in the Lower Rhine has an idyllic appearance. On the sides of the city to Design statute there is a map and notes on history and architecture.
- The casino now houses a hotel and restaurant.
Monuments

- The Fossa Eugenia was built by the Spaniards for two reasons: As a shipping canal between the Rhine and the Meuse, it was intended to cut off the breakaway Dutch provinces from trade on the Rhine and at the same time represent a defensive wall against them. The building was named after Isabella Clara Eugenia, the governor of the Spanish crown in the Netherlands.
- In 1629 the construction work was stopped again. There were financial reasons, there were technical problems with the hydraulic structures and the Dutch had carried out several raids. At that time they were in the middle of the 30 Years War.
- Today ground monuments are still visible in the areas of Rheinberg, Kamp-Lintfort, Geldern, Straelen and Venlo. From the Rhine to the Kamp district, the canal still carries water; it is used to drain the area.
