Neerijnen (G): reformed church (A.M.A. Gulden, 1865) This small single-aisled cruciform church
with built-in tower is a good example of a protestant church
in early
neo-Gothic style. Although influences from Gothicism are
present here in abundance, the result as a whole is a far cry
from both actual Gothic
and the more historically backed neo-Gothic
that was emerging in the same period. This church was probably designed by A.M.A.
Gulden, town-architect of Zaltbommel, obviously not an experienced builder
of churches, although he did also design the church of nearby Haaften in
1851, another building in early neo-Gothic style. |
