Beltrum, NL

The current parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption of Mary in Beltrum was built after a period of renovations and expansions. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a water board church stood here, which was expanded in 1862-1864 to a design by HJ Wennekers. In 1894, the church was again renovated by WVA Tepe; that is when the current neo-Gothic tower was built. The last major expansion took place in 1929-'30 under the direction of architect GAP de Kort. On the site of the former nave, the current nave and transept were built under slight influence of the brick expressionism of the 1920s.

The tower was built in 1961-1962 on the foundations of the predecessor. The church was also expanded at that time. The carillon was installed in 1965. Two chapels were set up next to the tower: that of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Gildenkapel, completed in 1971. The tower was restored in 1981 and 1997. Several authentic objects from the pre-war church can still be seen in the interior. Pulpit from 1656, originating from the old church .
