Sint-Andreaskerk, Gothic church in Groessen, Netherlands

The Sint-Andreaskerk features a Romanesque tower with three tiers, decorated with tuffstone lisenes and arch friezes from the 12th century.

The church origins date to 838, mentioned in an exchange deed alongside Duiven church, with the current tower constructed between 1150 and 1180.

The interior walls maintain a rough texture, representing each parishioner's contribution through individual stones, while Jacob Ydema's art decorates the baptistry.

The church underwent restoration in 2015, addressing rusting ironwork and crumbling stonework, with Bavarian granite selected for its durability.

The bell chamber contains three bells, including one crafted by G. Schimmel in 1692, measuring 80 centimeters in diameter.
