Liudger Church
This 13th century hall church is named after the famous 'Apostle of the Groningers', St. Liudger. In 1664 the church was thoroughly rebuilt using the convent stones of the monastery Saint Bernard in Aduard, which was destroyed in 1580. The rich interior of the Ludgerus Church can be seen after the southern tower entrance.
About this building
Traces of the Ewsum, De Mepsche and Ripperda families are visible in the 17th century gentlemen's banks with coats of arms in wood carvings. Even more wealth can be found in one of the two grave cellars. It concerns the beautifully worked tomb for the Viennese Countess Margaretha von Cobentzel. Church services are still regularly held in this church of the Foundation. Furthermore, the church is used for cultural purposes.
