Tips

July 24, 2023

This church has a rich history dating back to about 1200, when it started as a small stone hall church, possibly on the same site where a small wooden church used to be. The current tower dates from the 14th century, while part of the current building was built around 1470. In the 14th century, the nave of the church was extended and the current tower was added.

The church unfortunately suffered from the acts of war and was destroyed in 1421, but later rebuilt, including the current choir. The church was dedicated to Johannes Baptist (John the Baptist). In 1635 the tower was struck by lightning and burned out completely, destroying the church roof. It took years to restore everything, and in 1643 the current vaults were installed in the nave and the south aisle.

A striking feature of the church is its large size, given that Ede was a small village at the time. The church tower has a substructure that is largely made of tuff and probably dates from the 15th century. In the 17th century the tower was raised with brick. The front corners of the tower contain carved corbels and coronets dating from pre-Reformation times, which once held the statues of John the Baptist and Saint Barbara until they were destroyed in the Iconoclastic Fury.

As a reminder of the Second World War, a plaque was placed on the tower in 1946.
