Martinuskerk
Brakel (Gld), NL
Reformed Church. Large, late Gothic village church with a pseudo-basilica nave, the barrel vault of which has tie beams on corbels and columns. Polygonal closed, single-nave choir. The church has, among other things: a pulpit carved in Louis XIV shapes, a late 17th century pew, the canopy of which is supported by twisted columns, copper candlesticks on this pew and a 20-light copper chandelier from the 17th century. In the choir windows fragments of seven stained glass windows from 1647, 1693 and 1709. Simple iron choir screen, 19th century. Originally a single-manual organ, made in 1898 by L. van Dam and Sons. In 1976 extended with an upper work by SF Blank.
