The ‘Grote Kerk’ (Big Church) in Groede was built mid 13th century and belongs to the Flemish Hall Churches. The dating and architecture of the building refers to the former unity of Zeelandic and Flemish Flanders. From the beginning of the 14th century many of this kind of churches were built along the Flemish coast. The church in Groede has a remarkable octagonal tower.
Because Groede was flooded from 1583-1613 the church suffered a lot. In 1619 the choir was restored and further recovery followed from about ten years later. From 1618 the south aisle served almost two centuries as Walloon church; around 1685 this part of the church was separated from the rest.
In 1868 the ‘Grote Kerk’ was substantially rebuilt and completely plastered on the outside. During World War II Groede was spared from bombardments as it became a ‘red cross village’ by painting a huge red cross on the tower of the church.
In 1970 the church was completely restored and plaster was removed. The building fell into a very bad condition and in 2010 a new restoration was necessary. Since then the name of the church has been changed into ‘Grote Kerk’. Nowadays it is used again for services, but also for art exhibitions and other events.
