Engelum, NL

Hervormde Kerk

In its current form, the church of Engelum is a three-sided closed hall church with a tower of three sections with a constricted spire. The tower, which is not accessible from the church, was sheathed in 1887 and is said to still have thirteenth-century masonry from the original church. According to the memorial stone in the south wall of the tower (inv. no. 16), the rest of the church was also renovated in 1887. Incidentally, the nave and choir were said to have been rebuilt in 1773.
