Oude Calixtuskerk, Gothic church in Groenlo, Netherlands.

The Oude Calixtuskerk features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a bell tower containing 47 bells that ring across the town of Groenlo.

Construction of this religious building started in 1275, reaching its current architectural form by 1520 during the late Gothic period in the Netherlands.

The church houses exhibitions about the Siege of Grol from 1627, with a stained-glass window illustrating this significant historical event.

The interior divides into two sections: the choir area for Reformed services and the nave space for exhibitions and community activities.

The bell tower's carillon, initially installed in 1956 with fewer bells, now consists of 47 bells played by a carillonneur every Friday.
