St. Willibrord Church

Description

The St. Willibrord Church is a Roman Catholic church in St. Willebrord.
A parish was established and a church was built in 1841. Since 1885, St. Willebrord has been a place of pilgrimage, and that year a Lourdes grotto was constructed. A new church was built in 1925. The original design by Pastor Bastiaansen, a representation of the basilicas of Lourdes, was developed by the architect Hubert van Groenendael. There is a procession park in front of the church.
It is a three-nave cruciform church in neo-Gothic style with a high crossing tower and four corner towers. The church has two chapels and various stained glass windows. It is a National Monument.
In the interior, among other things, there is the chapel with a procession statue adorned with jewelry. In the niches are various statues and paintings. The oldest is a painting by P. van Schendel from 1851, depicting Mary with Child. In the choir, there is the baptismal font by A.I. Marae from 1842 and a Triumph Cross from the 19th century. There are various neo-Gothic saint statues, including polychrome wooden figures such as that of St. Barbara and Anna with Mary from the previous century and plaster figures of St. Anthony of Padua.
