![]() Neerijnen (G): reformed church (A.M.A. Gulden, 1865)
By 1865, when this church was built, Gothic architecture had been studied by several architects and investigators, but only a handful of (catholic) architects had put this knowledge to good use. Other architects were struggling to get their churches to look authentic. The architect of this church appears not even to have tried that. His church is plastered and has plastered wooden vaults. The various shapes are undeniably influenced by Gothic, but otherwise there is absolutely nothing here that reminds of medieval Gothic churches in the Netherlands. Originally the church was painted yellow ochre, a colour which was replaced by white during a restoration in 1981. The yellow colour returned in 2004, when the church was once again restored. The pictures on this page were made in 2002 and 2023 and thus show both situations. |
