The Herv church in Hoogwoud

betekenis & definitie

(Radboudstraat 1) is a wide one-aisled church with five-sided closed choir and a tower of three sections with balustrade and needle spire. The two lower tower sections arose shortly after 1472. The third articulation and the recoiling of the lower arteries are from 1886. In the tower there is a clock cast by François and Pieter Hemony (1650). After the old church was destroyed by storm in 1674, the current church was established in 1680 according to plans by Thijs Jansz (restored 1966-'67, D. Fledderus).

The interior is covered by a wooden barrel vault. The inventory includes a baptismal font in the Namur stone (15th century), a manor house (1634), a pulpit and doophek (mid-17th century), a deceased sign (1687) and a by L. van Dam & amp; amp; Zn. built organ (1878).
