Church of Leegkerk, Medieval church in Leegkerk, Netherlands
The Church of Leegkerk stands at Leegeweg 38, featuring Romano-Gothic architecture with late Gothic elements added during its reconstruction around 1620.
Local farmers collectively provided land and resources for the church's construction, with first mentions dating back to 1264 under Aduard monastery management.
The church interior contains preserved artifacts including a pulpit and liturgical objects introduced by pastor Abelus Lamberti van Bolhuis between 1635 and 1653.
Following extensive renovations in 2012, the church space now accommodates cultural events with modern amenities including floor heating and sanitary facilities.
The church floor houses burial stones from 1610 onwards, marking the final resting places of both religious leaders and wealthy residents.
