Church Garmerwolde
The original, late-Romanesque cruciform church and the free-standing tower were built at the end of the 13th century. During the Reduction of Groningen everything that reminded inhabitants of Roman Catholic worship was removed, except the piscina.
About this building
The vessel was demolished in the 19th century, but the transept, celebration and choir still remain.
On the west side, the wall remains of the vassal are still visible. On the east side there is ornamental masonry in the top facades. A single saddle roof tower completes the building. The interior, with its painted melon vaults, is well preserved and well worth viewing.
The church is rented for wedding services, funeral services, receptions, concerts and exhibitions. Yet the original function remains intact: once a month there is a reformed worship of the Protestant Congregation Garmerwolde Thesinge.
