The R.K. St.-Joannes Geboortekerk in Hoogwoud

betekenis & definitie

(Herenweg 7) is a three-aisled pseudobasilical cruciform church with five-sided closed choir and a tower of three sections with octagonal lantern and needle spire. To replace an older church, this neo-Gothic church arose in 1863-'65 according to Th. Molkenboer. After he died during the construction, his son W.B.G. Molkenboer the tower (1865). The church, which was restored in 1980, contains a Ypma organ (1873) and crossroads of F.L.H. de Fernelmont (1882). The cemetery chapel (1908) was converted into a columbarium in 1990.
