History
In the late sixties and the early seventies of the last century, right after the decision of the Vatican Counsil in Rome to innovate the catholic liturgy, Joannes Peters started collecting attributes.....
As a young acolyte he allready was fascinated by all the pump and circumstance in churches and chapels.
After his study at the franciscan gymnasium he discovered a few old statues in a loft place of a monastic church.
After a long talk with the abbot he got them for 100 guilders....
From this moment Fluminalis had been born....
In his old car and with a small trailer the teacher travelled through the Netherlands.
From a church here he came in contact with a monastery there.....
He visited Spain three times a year, went weekly to England and France and was a wellknown man in catholic Belgium....
In 1981 he bought his own monumental mediaeval church in Horssen - Holland, which was totally restored over many years: his first exposition-building.
Many inventories have been bought by Fluminalis, which name means: ".....near the stream...."
Between two rivers (Maas & Waal) the company blooms as never before.............
