This church is one of the oldest of the Netherlands.
In ca. 1100 a small Romanesque church was built on what
today is the edge of the village. The walls of the one-aisled are made of tuff
and are decorated by large niches with undeep round-topped niches, in which the
windows are.
In ca. 1200 half of the western trave was demolished to provide stones
needed for the construction of a tower. This tower is partly built-in. In ca.
1250 it was heightened using bricks.
The choir was replaced by a new Gothic one in the 15th century, using both
tuff and bricks. On the
south-side it has a peculiar wide pointed niche. |
