Church of Farmsum

Description

The church of Farmsum is a 19th-century Protestant water management church in the Groningen town of Farmsum, designed by C. Wind.
The predecessor of the present church was a late Romano-Gothic church that was built according to current insights in the early 14th century. It is not known whether this church had a pastor. The church is said to have been extended with a side nave in the mid-14th or third quarter of the 14th century, with the choir also being widened to three naves and the church as such being extended to the earliest known hall church in Groningen. In the 15th century, a sacristy was added on the northeast side with possibly a librije or tresoor / treasury on the upper floor. In 1855 the old tower was demolished. It was so crooked that it was widely known by the Groningen motto 'Zo schaif as wrath van Faarmsom'. In 1869 the dilapidated church was demolished.
