Mariakerk, Church building in Oirschot, Netherlands.

The Mariakerk exhibits Romanesque architecture with rounded arches, stone walls, and decorative reliefs integrated into the facade's intricate stonework design.

Originally established in the 9th century as a collegiate church for canons, the Mariakerk stands as the oldest religious structure in Oirschot.

The Protestant congregation holds regular services in this national monument, maintaining religious traditions while preserving the architectural heritage.

Located at Vrijthof 3, the church remains open for visitors who can observe the preserved paintings on the triumphal arch and historical features.

The building temporarily stored butter in its past, earning the local nickname 'Boterkerkje' after its transition from sacramental use in 1659.
