Oude Sint-Willibrorduskerk, Romanesque church in Waalre-dorp, Netherlands
Oude Sint-Willibrorduskerk is a church in Waalre built with a 12th-century tufstone nave combined with Gothic architectural details. The tower standing on Oude Torenstraat dates from the 15th century and forms part of the village skyline.
A wooden church was established around 712 by Saint Willibrord, but the stone building visible today took shape over time with significant work done through the 15th century.
The church serves as a memorial space for soldiers from Brabant, drawing visitors each September when annual remembrance gatherings take place in the building.
The building is accessible throughout the year and serves as a venue for baptisms, weddings, and memorial gatherings. Visitors should note that access may be limited during certain religious services or ceremonies.
The tower houses one of the oldest still-functioning clock mechanisms, created around 1360 and still operating today. This mechanism is a rare surviving example of medieval clockmaking craftsmanship in working condition.
