The Walfridus Church is a beautiful church located in the village of Bedum, in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands. The church dates back to the 11th century and is named after Saint Walfridus, a saint who was venerated in this area in the Middle Ages. One of the most striking features of the Walfridus Church is the leaning tower, known as the 'Olle Grieze' (old gray one). Over time, the tower has gradually tilted, making it a special attraction. The tower has a height of about 35 meters and can be seen from afar. In the church itself you can see many beautiful elements, such as an altarpiece from the 16th century and a beautiful wooden ceiling that dates from the 17th century. There are also some beautiful stained glass windows to admire. The Walfriduskerk is not only a historical monument, but also a living church where services are still held regularly. Moreover, concerts and other cultural events are often organized there, so that the church plays an important cultural and social role in the village of Bedum and the surrounding area. |
