Pancratiuskerk
Built in 1402, renovated in 1451 and 1937. The pointed top blew off in 1818. The oldest part of the church, the tower, dates from the first half of the 15th century, probably 1402. A chapel had already stood on this site for several centuries. Above the pulpit, a stone with the date 1451 possibly commemorates the first renovation. The lower part of the tower consists of tuff, above that layers of tuff alternate with brick and the upper part consists only of brick. During a heavy storm in 1818, the pointed top of the tower blew off. A few years later, the tower was restored and the spherical hat was created. In 1937, the church was expanded on the south side to its current form. In the tower hangs a bell cast in 1742 with a diameter of 140 cm. There used to be a small school on the north side (see also the construction drawing). The current land registry drawings show that the land under the former school is still owned by the church. The church in Brummen probably dates from the tenth century and was dedicated to Saint Pancratius. It was under the patronage of the Abbess of the imperial foundation in Elten, where the abbey was richly endowed with many goods by Wichman, Count of Hameland, including the lordship of Brummen. The church had already been somewhat renovated in the eleventh century in a more Romanesque style. The tower was then less high than it is today. In the middle of the fifteenth century the building underwent another change, while in the middle of the eighteenth century another renovation took place.
