Nederland - Uithuizermeeden, Mariakerk

The oldest part of the Dutch Reformed Church of Uithuizermeeden is dating back to the 13th century.
The white walls were plastered in the 19th century.

The church tower (Meister Toren) was renewed in 1717, commissioned by Onno Tamminga of Alberda, lord at the nearby Rensumaborg. After a fire at the end of the 19th century the tower was rebuilt in its original form. The remarkable white and blue tower has a height of 48,5 metres.

The church has a beautiful interior and a Hinz organ, which was consecrated in 1785.

Niks ten nadele van Noord-Groningen, maar zo'n mooie kerk in die omgeving was voor mij ook een complete verrassing.

Mooie foto, Jaap. En ook een prachtige kerk en toren. Het is niet meteen het soort kerk dat je hier zou verwachten. Heel on-Nederlands. Maar erg mooi.

Wij waren dan ook redelijk verbaasd zo'n mooie kerk in dit verlaten deel van ons land te vinden. Helaas - zoals zo vaak - was hij wel gesloten, dus voor het interieur moeten we nog eens terug. Maar ja, het ligt niet bepaald naast de deur ..
