Jacobuskerk

The church, named after Jacobus de Meerdere, was built in the first half of the 13th century. The monastic mops are no longer visible because of the plasterwork. Windows and plaster are from the 19th century.

About this building

The warped tower was added to the church in 1859, and the remainder added in 1929.

The simple and stylish interior received its final form in the 19th century. The floor was installed during the restoration of 1992. The deviation of the north and south walls shows that the church has been overgrown. Now the interior is covered by a wooden ceiling. Furniture and tombs in the floor are partly 17th century. The church is used for mourning and wedding services, exhibitions, performances and as rehearsal space. The Summer Jazz Bike Tour is also part of the activities. The church can accommodate approximately 125 people.
