Saturday 6 June with guide Jan Jacobs For many, ‘humour’ and ‘church’ are seemingly contradictory concepts, but is that really the case? Are there not stories, anecdotes and events in our church with a touch of humour? What if confessionals could talk, or the many beautiful sculptures and paintings could reveal the greatest secrets? And wasn’t humour sometimes used in and about the church? Come and find out………

More about this church

Description

Three-nave prayer house with choir, transept and slender west tower, built of brick with decorative elements in white sandstone. The late baroque nave dates from 1681. In 1786, the church was extended by several bays and a new tower. The latter went up in flames in July 1865. It was repaired and raised with a storey of bells. The transept was also built at that time. The church was restored after World War I and after a tower fire and 1982.
