Sint-Werenfriduskerk, Workum, Neo-Gothic church in Workum, Netherlands.

The Sint-Werenfriduskerk stands 65 meters tall with detailed stained glass windows and features architectural elements designed by Wilhelm Victor Alfred Tepe.

Built in 1877 to replace a previous structure, the church received its Rijksmonument status in 1976 and underwent extensive renovations between 1989 and 2003.

The interior contains sculptures, stations of the cross, and altars crafted by Friedrich Wilhelm Mengelberg's workshop, representing Dutch religious craftsmanship.

Plans are underway to transform the church building and rectory into a specialized care center with 25 apartments for elderly residents with dementia.

The church's organ, constructed by Adema from Amsterdam in 1884, underwent restoration in 2004 and maintains its original musical characteristics.
