This is a great place to let it roll.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT ORIGINAL PARISH 1316-1597: Until 1326, the Lordship of Bredevoort was a Westphalian bailiwick within the Upper Diocese of Münster. Catholics attended St. George's Church (today's Sint-Joriskerk) on the MARKET, which was elevated to parish church status in 1535. It was dedicated to Saint George and owes its name to the patron saint of the bailiwicks of Bredevoort, Saint George, who slew the dragon. REFORMATION PERIOD 1597-1675: Through the Treaty of Venlo, Bredevoort—like the entire Duchy of Guelders—became part of the Spanish Netherlands in 1543. During the Eighty Years' War, troops led by Maurice of Orange attacked Bredevoort in 1591 and besieged the town. With the subsequent introduction of the Reformation in 1597, the Roman Catholic inhabitants were no longer permitted to hold religious services. CHAPEL OF THE CROSS, 1675-1798: From 1675 onward, they secretly used the Chapel of the Cross, located just across the border. The Bishop of Münster, Bernhard von Galen, had it built specifically for the Catholics from Aalten and Bredevoort. PREVENTION CHURCH, 1798-1876: With the French invasion in 1795, the Batavian Republic was founded in Bredevoort, and freedom of religion was reinstated. In 1798, the Catholics began building a Roman Catholic church. This church stood between Koppelstraat and Officierstraat (opposite the present-day church). It consisted of two houses whose roofs had been removed and whose walls subsequently raised. The altar was made of brick, and everything was painted white to give the building a sacred appearance. ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH 1875/76: After the previous building had become too small, the architect Alfred Tepe designed this church in the Neo-Gothic style in 1875. The construction manager was Father A.E. Smorenburg. In 1876, it was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and its patron saint is Saint George.

St. George's Church at Koppelstraat/Kerkstraat 16 in Bredevoort was built on the curtain wall between two former bastions, which is why it still stands slightly higher than the surrounding streets. It was built in the Neo-Gothic style and designed in 1875 by the architect Alfred Tepe, after a house converted into a church had become too small. The construction manager was Father A.E. Smorenburg. The church was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1876. Its patron saint is St. George. (Source: Information panel at the church) The first 100,000 bricks for the new church came from Barlo, Germany, and were transported by parishioners in wheelbarrows to demonstrate their solidarity with the Dutch Catholics. The remaining bricks were presumably fired in the brick kiln in De Haart. In 1897, the church received a clock and three bells; in 1898, Felice Monasso from Bocholt laid a terrazzo floor, and Muermans & Son from Roermond painted the walls, including a depiction of Christ and the Apostles in the Garden of Gethsemane.

St. George's Church on Koppelstraat was built on the curtain wall between two former bastions, which is why it still stands somewhat higher than the surrounding streets. This makes it visible from afar and offers a good view. It was built in 1875 in the Neo-Gothic style and designed by the architect Alfred Tepe, after a house converted into a church had become too small.

HISTORY: 1220 A priest named Siegfried begins construction of a small chapel. 1242 The mission station is transferred to the Cistercian nuns of Marienborn Abbey (near Haltern). 1245 Monks from the Order of St. William take over pastoral care and expand the chapel into a small church. 1398 Burlo Abbey is renamed "Mariengarden." 1448 The St. William joins the Cistercian Order. From then on, Mariengarden Abbey is under the jurisdiction of Kamp Abbey near Rheinberg on the Lower Rhine. 16th/17th centuries: Numerous armed conflicts between the Netherlands and the Holy Roman Empire. Mariengarden Abbey is frequently plundered and destroyed. The library, religious objects, and paintings are burned. After its destruction in the Thirty Years' War, the church is rebuilt. 1682 Reconstruction after destruction. New high altar and two side altars. Reconsecrated in 1682. In 1803, during the Napoleonic Wars, the monastery was secularized and became the property of Prince Salm-Salm zu Anholt. A secular priest took over pastoral care. In 1921, the Oblate Fathers of Hünfeld took over the parish. Since then, the parish has been called St. Mary's. In 1958, the church was extended with a confession chapel located on the north side of the chancel. A large opening allows visitors to the chapel an unobstructed view of the sanctuary. In 1967, the church was renovated and a new altar was installed. In 2013, the parishes of Burlo and Borkenwirthe merged to form the parish of St. Ludgerus, Weseke. On October 7, 2016, the newly renovated side chapel was consecrated. It is accessible from the church. (Source: st-ludgerus.de)

Around 2023, WMF from Ahaus acquired the old monastery building, part of the music hall, the conference center, and the agricultural buildings. In 2023, the Oblates moved from the monastery to the left half of the music hall (formerly the boarding school building). (Source: Father Andreas Hohn OMI/ from Bdirekt Local News)

The Gothic church of St. Mary dates back to the Middle Ages. The oldest part of the building is the east chancel. The low windows in the chancel likely date from this period. The interior measures 39 m long, 7.5 m wide, and 12 m high. The two bells date from 1631 and 1643. The parish's over 700-year history is closely linked to the history of Burlo Abbey. (Source: oblaten.org) The church is dedicated to the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. (Source: Wikipedia) The former Burlo Abbey church now belongs to the parish of St. Ludgerus in Weseke. As before, the parish has leased the church from the Oblates since 2023, from the WMF investment group from Ahaus (two notaries and two architects). Today, there is no longer direct access from the old abbey building to the church. The sacristy has been extended by one room, providing storage space and an accessible restroom for worshippers. The sacristy can also be accessed via a new door from the kitchen courtyard. This room can also be used for small groups. (Source: P Andreas Hohn OMI, Parish Priest/ from Bdirekt Local News)
