Nicolaaskerk

Blije, NL

The brick tower with saddle roof was probably built around 1200, but that is all that remains of the old church. The tower already had a western entrance when it was built. The current church was built in the 15th or 16th century. Noteworthy are the three hagioscopes in the choir, which are located particularly low here. This can have two causes, either they were intended as kneeling hagioscopes or the churchyard has been raised many times over the centuries. Inside you will find a beautiful gravestone, dated 1552, made by the famous stonemason Vincent Lucas. The church is located in a ring of deacon houses.
