The Resurrected Church in Huizen

betekenis & definitie

(Kerkstraat 1), originally dedicated to St. Thomas, is a two-aisled church with three-sided closed choir and a built-in tower of four sections with balustrade and constricted striker. The church stands on a higher cemetery (walled 1775).

The lower part of the Gothic tower dates back to the beginning of the 15th century (possibly completed in 1409). The ship and choir followed in the second half of that century (possibly 1480), when the tower was also raised. After the collapse of the roof structure (1577), the church underwent a prolonged recovery until 1637. In 1738 the church received side aisles, of which the north aisle remains. The north transept was preserved from an extension in 1869, the south transept was renewed in 1908, enlarged and provided with bevelled extensions on both sides. In the interior there are galleries in the south transept, choir and on the west side of the ship (1908). The 17th-century inventory includes a pulpit (1636), a doophek, benches and a few text signs, including a ten-decreed sign (1642, Lambert Seynsen).

The form. presbytery (Oranje Weeshuislaan 1) is a large middle-class house from 1882 with plastered corner reveries and eclectic details.
