Oude Salviuskerk, Medieval church in Limbricht, Netherlands.
Oude Salviuskerk is a church with two naves and a five-sided enclosed choir in Limbricht. The tower has three sections stacked above each other and is topped with an intricately twisted spire.
The northern wall was built with Maas pebbles in the late 10th or early 11th century and remains visible today. The church has been maintained as a place of significance for the local community through the centuries.
The wall paintings in the choir show religious scenes from the 1300s that are rarely found in other Dutch village churches. These frescoes offer a rare look at how rural places of worship were decorated in the Middle Ages.
The church opens to visitors on the first Sunday of May through September between 2 PM and 5 PM, with group visits available by arrangement. Check ahead to confirm times and make any special arrangements for your visit.
Workers discovered a copper box with bone fragments during restoration in the 1970s that are believed to belong to Saint Salvius. These remains were said to have been brought here by nuns from France in medieval times.
