Sint-Martinuskerk

Location: Sint-Oedenrode, Netherlands

The church sits on Pastoor Smitsstraat, a street in the heart of Sint-Oedenrode.

• The Sint-Martinuskerk replaced an identical church from 1808, which previously superseded the medieval Sint-Odakerk and was demolished in 1912.
• Remaining from the Sint-Odakerk is the high choir from 1498, now a chapel to the right of the choir, designated as a national monument.

1. The current church was designed in neo-Gothic style by architect W.Th. van Aalst.
2. The church is not strictly oriented unlike the Sint-Oda then, resulting in the old choir standing at an angle under the church.
3. The church was completed in its present form in 1915.

Plans for a large tower were not implemented; instead, the church received a small tower. Behind the church stands since 1934 a chapel designed by Marinus Jan Granpré Molière, dedicated to Saint Oda. The name Sint-Oedenrode is linked to this saint.
