Nispen, NL
The church was built around 1400. In 1640, the church was rebuilt on the same foundations using the old parts. The pulpit and some gravestones in the church date from that time. When the population increased significantly in the 19th century due to the establishment of the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid in Frederiksoord, the church was given a side aisle in 1853, which was removed during the restoration in 1964-1967. The tower on the church was built in 1874 to replace an old double bell tower. In 1875, the monumental Van Dam organ was built. The church is located on the churchyard and is a late Gothic single-nave church built around 1400, when it did not yet have a tower. In 1842 it was enlarged with a transept in a northern direction. Above the west facade there is a roof turret. The current tower dates from 1874 and replaced the bell tower. During the restoration of 1960 and 1967, the northern extension was removed and the original appearance was restored.
