The R.K. church O.L. Vrouwe op Hemelopneming in Vogelenzang

betekenis & definitie

(Kerkweg 1) is a cross-church with a three-sided closed choir with sacristy and a tower of two sections with eight-sided lantern and spire. This neo-Gothic church arose in 1858-'61 after design by Th. Molkenboer. In the tower hangs a clock cast by François and Petrus Hemony (1664). The pinnacles around the lantern were removed in 1928. The church interior is covered by stuccoed wooden cross vaults. The walls are decorated with mosaic work by A. Elsner (1859). The neo-Gothic main altar, the rich choir stalls and the organ stand date from the construction period.
