The R.K. St. Victory Church in Obdam

betekenis & definitie

(Dorpsstraat 151) is a three-aisled basilical cross-church with five-sided closed choir and a tower of three sections with balustrade and needle spire. This neo-Gothic church with neo-Romanesque elements was erected in 1890-92 to plans by A.C. Bleijs to replace the medieval church, which was returned to the Catholics in 1803 (demolished in 1893). In the tower there is a clock cast by Johan Nicolaas Derck (1752). The church was restored in 1991-'93.
