Sint-Monulphus

Sint-Monulphus is a church located in Berg en Terblijt, Netherlands. It's named after Saint Monulfus and Gondulus, two early Christian saints.

The church is situated in the heart of Berg en Terblijt, a village in the municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul. Sint-Monulphus has a typical Limburgian Gothic Revival style, with a pointed tower and a gabled roof.

The church dates back to the 14th century, although its exact construction date is unknown. It's believed that the original church was built in the 13th century, but it was heavily damaged during the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648). The current building was constructed around 1500.

Inside the church, you'll find a simple yet elegant interior with Gothic-style vaults and a large wooden pulpit. The pews are adorned with intricate carvings of fruits and foliage. Sint-Monulphus is famous for its ornate tombstones, which date back to the 16th century. These elaborate stone monuments feature reliefs depicting scenes from everyday life, such as children playing or farmers working in the fields.
