Abdijkerk van Thorn

The stone church features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and stained glass windows characteristic of medieval ecclesiastical architecture in the Netherlands.

Founded in the late 10th century by Count Ansfried of Teisterbant and his wife Hilsondis, the church grew into an institution for noble women.

The church interior contains museum spaces that display artifacts and furnishings from the noble residents who lived in Thorn throughout eight centuries.

Individual visitors can access the church and museum spaces without prior reservation, while groups need to schedule their visits in advance.

The church maintains its function as both a parish church and a museum, showcasing the architectural work of Pierre Cuypers from the 19th century.
