The Corneliuskerk:

The Corneliuskerk was built in the 13th century as a Roman Catholic church and was named after Saint Cornelius who was martyred during the reign of Emperor Nero. The church has undergone several renovations and expansions throughout the centuries, with the most significant being in the 15th century when it was rebuilt in Gothic style.

The church is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, featuring a tall, narrow tower and a pointed arch entrance. The exterior is adorned with intricate stone carvings and ornate windows.

The Corneliuskerk has played a significant role in Limmen's history and culture. It was an important pilgrimage site during the Middle Ages, attracting visitors from all over Europe. Today, the church is still an integral part of the community, hosting various events and services throughout the year.

The church can be found at Dusseldorperweg 76, 1906 AL Limmen, Netherlands.

   The design came from architect Petrus Snel (1860-1934), then from Schagen, who issued the bid in April 1901. The church was consecrated on 15 April 1902; however, the space for reception and the parsonage had to be finished at that time.
2. A major fire broke out in the roof of the church on May 3rd, 2018, causing significant damage. Reconstruction began in 2019. On September 20th, 2020, the rebuilt church was again put into use during a Eucharist service where Mgr Jan Hendriks, Bishop of Haarlem-Amsterdam, consecrated the altar table.
