We started our hike today in Woldendorp, a village in the far north east of the Netherlands and part of the municipality of Delfzijl. This is the
Petruskerk (St Peter Church), originally dating from the 13th century. During WW2 the church was badly damaged and needed a lot of renovation work after the war. The grave stones we saw were all from the early 19th century.
The church facade seen from the other side.
The side entrance was a beautiful wooden door.
Beautiful church. It looks like it's been there a long while.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMooie foto's, was een mooie dag voor een wandeling!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenUnbelievable that something that old could still be standing, even with some renovation. I'm wondering if there's a 2nd story or does it have very high ceilings. Is this Roman Catholic or a version of Protestantism?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Lowell, it's a Dutch Reformed Church. We haven't been inside, but I've seen photos that show a high ceiling. So no second floor.
VerwijderenBeautiful photos of a beautiful church. I do like the clock tower, it's quite impressive and so old. Amazing to see in the 21st century.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love walking through old cemetries; this church is still majestic. The Dutch Reformed Church is the largest in South Africa.
