Oude Salviuskerk, Medieval church in Limbricht, Netherlands.

The Oude Salviuskerk features a dual-nave configuration with a five-sided enclosed choir and a tower consisting of three segments with an entwined spire.

The northern wall of the church, constructed with Maas pebbles during the late tenth or early eleventh century, remains visible in its original form.

The choir contains wall paintings from around 1300, depicting the Annunciation and Last Judgment, representing the oldest frescoes found in Dutch village churches.

The church opens its doors to visitors on the first Sunday of each month from May to September between 14:00 and 17:00, with private tours available by appointment.

During restoration work in the 1970s, workers discovered a copper box containing bone fragments attributed to Saint Salvius, brought by nuns from France.
