Embrace serenity and peace of mind as you walk through this catholic church beholding the painted ceilings and beautiful stained glass windows. The cornerstone for the first church was laid over 150 years ago and the cavernous feeling you get because of the large rear grottoes is very memorable.

Twenty minutes away from Lynden is the popular city of Bellingham. One of Bellingham's treasures is Whatcom Falls park. Situated around Whatcom creek, the waters run through different phases, including a series of waterfalls for which the park was named. Explore the lush, ancient growth forest that is active with joggers, walkers, picnickers and people walking their dogs. There is also a playground and tennis court.

The Royal Palace was built between 1924 and 1929, on orders by King Alexander I, as the official royal residence. It is designed in the Serbian-Byzantine style, surrounded by pergolas, park terraces, pools, a pavilion, and a concert terrace. Located on the ridge of a hill, it provides a magnificent view of Dedinje, the Košutnjak forest, Topčider, and Avala. Within the same complex, a residence for sons of King Alexander I had been built and named the White Palace. Its salons are arranged in the styles of Louis XV and Louis XVI, and it contains a valuable art collection including notable artworks by Rembrandt, Fromentin, Vouet, Poussin, Bourdou, Jakšić, Meštrović and many others. It also contains the Royal Library that once housed around 35,000 books and the Ceremonial Dining Hall set up in the Chippendale style. The palace complex also contains the Royal Family Church modelled after the Church of the Monastery of St Andrew on Treska in Macedonia. Palaces are open for visits on weekends, during the tourist season, as it is a home of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia and his family.

Visiting a library might not be the fist thing on your vacation list, but this one is one of the oldest libraries in the world and provides a quiet and interesting oasis for people who are tired of sightseeing.
