    The Donatus Church in Leermens is one of the oldest churches in Groningen. The oldest part of the church dates back to 1050. Over the years a lot has been built and renovated.
    Stokoud, that is the Donatus Church of Leermens. This has been built and renovated for centuries. Just look at the tuff side walls. This part is the oldest, from 1050. In the transept the tuff is mixed with red monastery mops. In the thirteenth-century choir, that "joke" takes over completely. Inside, fifteenth-century paintings splash off the wall and roof.

    The first stone church was built around 1050. At that time there were no bricks here and the building was built with tuff. The side walls of the nave (left of the main entrance) are from that time.

    There, on the wall near the roof tiles, another typical Romanesque building element is visible, namely the round-arch frieze. The name of this decorated band comes from the Latin word frisium, which means decoration / fringe.
    This goes back to the Phrygians, an artistic people from classical antiquity.

    A beautiful church, inside and out. It is one of the oldest churches in the Northern Netherlands, construction started in the 11th century.
