Heilige Blasius

Location: Kerkdreef 4, 4451 AD Heinkenszand, Netherlands

This Catholic church has been an important place of worship for the local community since its construction in the 15th century.

The name "Blasius" originates from the patron saint of the church, Saint Blaise (also known as Saint Blasius), who was a Christian martyr living in the 4th century and is revered for his kindness and compassion.

This connection to the saint dates back to the Middle Ages when the church was built.

1. Throughout its history, Heilige Blasius has undergone various transformations and renovations.
2. In the 17th century, the church underwent significant changes after a major fire damaged much of the building.

The current façade of the church, featuring a distinctive tower, dates back to this period.
