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.

The "house" is a former teahouse belonging to the Roelvink family. It's charmingly furnished, just as a 19th-century teahouse would have been. One can easily imagine the Roelvink family arriving at any moment for their afternoon tea. It's locked, but the interior is clearly visible through the glass panes. Simply beautiful and an idyllic spot. ... BACKGROUND 1764: Bernard Andreas Roelvink was the administrator of the Stadtholder William V. His residence was expanded into the administrator's house in 1764 (the present-day Boutique Hotel & Brasserie "DE HEERLYCKHEID"). 1782: The remains of two bastions (Vreesniet and Treurniet) and the land between them (the present-day fortress park and orchard) were leased to the Roelvink family in 1782. Around 1850: B.A. Roelvink had an English garden laid out on the grounds for himself and his family, which was very fashionable at the time. 1862: The teahouse was built on the former Vreesniet bastion and is now picturesquely situated on a slight rise in the fortress park, which is bordered to the northwest by the Grote Gracht (former moat).

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.

CATHOLIC PREVIOUS CHURCH: The castle chapel served as the place of worship for the small Catholic community until 1316, when the first Catholic church was built outside the castle. The foundations suggest that it served as the castle chapel before becoming the main church. This was the predecessor of the present-day Sint-Joriskerk, 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 Vogt of Bredevoort, Saint George, who slew the dragon. During the Eighty Years' War, the original Catholic church was largely destroyed and burned down in 1597 (during the siege by Prince Maurice). The tower and vaults collapsed, but parts of the walls remained standing. The Reformation began with a devastated church! From 1597 onward, Roman Catholic residents in the Netherlands were no longer permitted to hold religious services. From 1675 onwards, they used the Chapel of the Cross, located just across the border on German soil. It had been built by the Bishop of Münster, Bernhard von Galen, specifically for the Catholics of Aalten and Bredevoort. In a book, "Aalten en Bredevoort in vervlogen tijden" by B.D. Rots, it states: "When they (the Catholics) went to church at the Chapel of the Cross, they had to take shovels and spades with them to avoid any trouble. The women had to hide the gold cross they wore on Sundays, otherwise they risked having it torn off. The Catholics from Bredevoort reached the Chapel of the Cross via the church path through the Witte Veen."

During the siege by Prince Maurice in 1597, the old church was largely destroyed. The tower and the vault collapsed, but parts of the walls remained standing. SINT-JORISKERK: As early as 1599, just two years after the plundering, destruction, and siege of the town, construction began on a new church building for the Dutch Reformed congregation on this site. It was built in the Gothic style, and the oak timber roof truss replaced the destroyed vault. In 1639, the church was enlarged by moving the north facade several meters. Wooden posts were placed at the original location of this facade, creating a north aisle. The church was severely damaged in the explosion of the powder tower in 1646. Further renovations and extensions took place in 1834 and 1858. The complete restoration was referred to as a "reconstruction." In 1869, the exterior walls were plastered, and this layer was removed in 1949. During this period, the church underwent another comprehensive restoration. A complete restoration was carried out in 1967. The Sint-Joriskerk is located in the historic center of Bredevoort! It is a national monument and is a protected historical site. ... FEATURES: The Sint-Joriskerk houses a beautiful Rococo pulpit dating from 1762. Old inscriptions (from 1301?) can be found on the beams beneath the so-called "peasant's attic." The figure of St. George slaying the dragon serves as a weather vane on the tower and has been reattached to the church roof. (Source: Information panels at the church)
