Maartenskerk

Ophemert, NL

The polygonal closed choir, decorated with natural stone blocks on the buttresses and with blocks in the window ledges, has been preserved from the late Gothic village church. The choir is covered by a net vault. The nave was renovated in 1858 and renovated again in 1955 in a style adapted to the Gothic choir. The inventory includes: a pulpit, 1662 and six 18th century funeral boards. Churchyard wall. Brick wall around the churchyard, 18th century? Two-manual organ, made in 1859 by CGF Witte. The original front was lost during a shelling of the tower in 1944-1945. In 1954, the firm JC Sanders & Zoon (Utrecht) made a new front with pinewood and hardboard. In 1988, the organ was restored by the firm HB Scheuerman & Zoon (Rotterdam). The original front was reconstructed after the example of the Witte organ from 1860 in the reformed church in Bunschoten. The case remains outside the protection. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
