Sint-Odakerk

Sint-Odakerk is a Roman Catholic church located at Boshoverweg 58, 6002 AP Weert, Netherlands. The church has a rich history that dates back to the 13th century, making it one of the oldest churches in the region. Over the centuries, the church has undergone several renovations and expansions to adapt to changing architectural styles and needs.

The Sint-Odakerk is named after Saint Odulphus, a Christian martyr who lived in the 7th century. Saint Odulphus was a prominent figure in the early Christian Church, and his legacy continues to be celebrated through the church that bears his name.
