Oude Kerk, Oosterbeek, Medieval church building in Oosterbeek, Netherlands.

The Oude Kerk features a Roman gate at its entrance, round arched windows, and a tower that was added during the 14th century expansion.

Built in the 10th century using tufa stone from Roman fortifications across the Rhine, this church ranks among the oldest ecclesiastical structures in the Netherlands.

The church maintains its position as a central religious site in Oosterbeek, hosting regular services, concerts, exhibitions, and community gatherings throughout the year.

The restored church welcomes visitors during designated hours, offering guided tours that explain its architectural elements and historical significance in the region.

During September 1944, the church served as a final stronghold for Allied forces, with 250 wounded soldiers receiving care in the adjacent rectory.
