Termunten Church
This late-Roman church built on a mound was once a much larger cross-church from the twelfth century. The current building consists of the choir tramp and the former crossing. The presence of the previous, larger church is still noticeable in parts of the building.
About this building
Although it is a 'leftover' church, it is still beautiful, with ornamental masonry, pointed arches, windows and round windows, both outside and inside.
Further details in the interior are the late-Roman eight-ribbed dome vaults and the exceptionally high placed piscina (nearly one and a half meters high). The early 13th century baptismal font comes from the church of Heveskes. In 1945 the 18th century organ was destroyed during fire. The current organ was built in 1864 by N.A.G. Lohman, for the Mennonite church in Noordbroek
Since 2009, the characteristic building has a broader function. From May to October, the church is open for visits every Sunday afternoon; then the tower can be climbed, with views over Ems and Dollard and a view of the vaults. Regularly, there are concerts and other events. The concert schedule can be view below.
