Wirdum Church
"When you marry in Wirdum, you will marry in the middle of the green, the peace and the space. No crowds and noises, here you can hear the birds and you can really enjoy the church organ."
About this building
Despite the modifications made to the Romanesque windows in the south and east walls, the Romanesque construction can still be clearly recognized.
In the north wall, rather uniquely, a kneelnis can be found. There is a hagioscope in the niche. Inside we find some murals, including a enthroned Christ and (probably) a St. Barbara that was probably made around 1400. Around the church Roman remains were found in 1984, including bronze figurines of Minerva and Mercury. This text comes from the site of the municipality of Loppersum.
