Sint-Martinuskerk

Sint-Martinuskerk is a Gothic church in Weert with three naves arranged in a hall church design. The interior features elaborate vault paintings that cover the Gothic ceilings throughout the space.

The choir was completed in 1456, while the tower began construction around 100 years later and underwent changes until the late 1800s. This gradual building process shows how the church expanded across several centuries.

The church showcases ornate vault paintings that decorated the interior with color and pattern across its Gothic spaces. These artworks reveal how people valued craftsmanship and visual beauty in their religious buildings.

The church opens at different times depending on the day of the week, with longer hours on weekends. Plan your visit ahead by checking the opening schedule before you go.

The vault paintings rank among the largest surviving continuous Gothic ceiling decorations in Dutch churches. These artworks offer a rare glimpse into how religious spaces were decorated in the late medieval period.
