Thomas Church
The Thomas Church in Katlijk is built with rose shops: bricks that are smaller than monastery mops. The current church dates back to 1525. On the north side of the church is a double bell tower seated on a gable roof. The bells are used for Sint-Thomasluiden (sounding bells between the 21 December and 31 December).
About this building
The history of Katlijk dates back to the thirteenth century. It is known that there was a chapel in 1254, around which a neighborhood gradually arose. In 1525 the hamlet got its own church, which made it a village. The church is built with rose brick, which is a bit smaller than monastery mops. On the west side is a gable from 1600 with brick braiding at the top. The church building is supported by heavy buttresses. There are regular church services of the Protestant congregation that take place twice a year in the summer and once a month in the winter. In addition, there are mourning and wedding services and there are concerts and sometimes sounds recordings due to the excellent acoustics. There are also various activities of Dorpsbelang.
