The Protestantse Kerk

The Protestantse Kerk (Protestant Church) is a historic church located in the town of Eijsden, Netherlands.

The church was built in the 13th century as a Catholic church and became a hub for the Protestant Reformation movement during the Dutch Golden Age. In the 17th century, the church was converted into a Protestant church.

The church is known for its unique architecture, which reflects the transition from Gothic to Renaissance styles. The tower dates back to the original Gothic structure, while the main building has undergone several renovations and expansions over the centuries.

  • The church was built on the corner of the Diepstraat and Wilhelminastraat, surrounded by a garden.
  • The current building dates back to 1906 when it was constructed by J.M. Odinot for the Hervormde Gemeente.

The church is an important cultural and historical landmark in Eijsden and the Netherlands as a whole. It serves as a symbol of the country's rich history and its strong tradition of tolerance and religious freedom.

  1. The church, including the tower, is covered with slate tiles in stepped gable construction, with a barrel vaulted roof (ship) and a tent-shaped roof (tower).
  2. The entrance to the church building is located under the tower. The tent-shaped roof has small chapels.

Inside the church building, various soft colors are present. In 2007, the interior was renovated, and in 2015, the building was restored. The building is a national monument.
