Noordbroek Church
The imposing cruciform church was built in the early 14th century in a predominantly late-Roman style. It is easily recognised by the layout and processing of the walls; a lower and upper zone with a lot of decorative masonry in the upper zone.
About this building
Despite the Romanesque decorations, the church does have a Gothic look due to the high walls and matching high pointed arch windows.
In the interior, the church has dome vaults, wall and vault paintings and two remnants from the Catholic era: a sacrament knowledge in the choir and a piscina. The interior is very rich with a choir, a richly worked pulpit and a Schnitger organ. In Noordbroek the local committee organizes activities such as exhibitions, lectures, (organ) concerts and guided tours. Church services are also regularly held.
The organ was built in 1696 by Arp Schnitger, and the balcony and decorations were added in 1806.
