Tips

The Celtic Cross is placed on the site of the old parish church on the occasion of:

- 4 years priest pastor dean G. Verbakel;

- 700 years of parish Nuland;

- 2000 years of Christianity.

Until 1857-1859, the presumably 14th-century parish church of Nuland stood on the edge of the polder.

This church was dedicated to St. John's Decapitation and built in Gothic style. The church was owned by the Reformed Church from 1635 to 1840. The tower was municipal property. Both were demolished between 1857 and 1859. One of the reasons for demolition was the neglected state in which the Catholics got the church back. The fact that the area was regularly flooded also contributed to the decision to demolish the old church. A new church was built on higher grounds and opened in 1859.

This church was destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt in 1950. The contours of the oldest Gothic 'polder church' have been made visible in the landscape.
