Tips

1967Bike-Didi

August 23, 2020

The building of the Johannes de Doperkerk is one of the oldest churches in the region and has been a national monument since 1967. The Roman Catholic parish church is dedicated to John the Baptist. Since 1959, Saint Rita of Cascia, patroness of impossible and hopeless causes, has also been honored in this church.

A small hall church was probably built on this site in the 11th or 12th century. Parts of the tower and the nave date from that time. The south aisle was added later. The tower and the north aisle were renovated in the 16th century.

In the 16th century, disagreements arose about the appointment of a new pastor. This was because the parish's right of patronage was disputed by three lords: that of Genhoes, that of Schaloen, further on, and that of Sibberhuuske, which is situated on the hill. In 1543 the quarrel was settled with the provision that each of the three gentlemen had the right to appoint a new pastor for four months a year.
