The Herv church in Kortenhoef

betekenis & definitie

(Kortenhoefsedijk 168), originally dedicated to St. Antonius, is a single-nave church with three-sided closed choir and a tower of three sections with balustrade and constricted needle spire. Tower and choir rose in late Gothic style in the second half of the 14th century (first entry 1380).

The ship with round arch windows was largely renewed in 1640. In the tower hang a late-14th-century clock and a clock cast by Johan Dop (1641). The church was further restored in 1831. During a restoration in 1921-'24 (AA Kok) the tower was given a masonry balustrade and during a restoration in 1967-'74 the post-1900 demolished consistory was rebuilt on the south side of the choir the 15th-century foundations.

The interior is covered by wooden barrel vaults with draw beams (chancel 14th century, ship renovated 1831). A piscina was built in one of the niches in the choir. The inventory includes a pulpit (late 17th century), balusters of the forem. choir fence (1541), two ministerial boards (1805 and 1821) and one by H. Knipscheer for the Herv. church in Veessen built organ (1871, placed here 1974). The presbytery (Kortenhoefsedijk 163) is a central corridor from 1840 (facing brick).
