Cunerakerk

The Cunerakerk is a Gothic church in Rhenen featuring a tall stone tower, vaulted halls, and Late Gothic proportions throughout its interior and exterior. The space contains decorative elements and religious furnishings from the Renaissance period that remain in place today.

Construction started in the 14th century and the tower was completed in the early 16th century. The church suffered serious damage during World War II but was carefully restored in the following years.

The carved choir furnishings from the 16th century display detailed craftsmanship that shaped how services were conducted in this space. These pieces show the skill of artisans who worked to make the church more functional and beautiful.

The church welcomes visitors during regular hours and sits in a central location within Rhenen. Its acoustic properties make it a valued venue for concerts and musical performances.

A marble partition from the Renaissance separates the choir from the main church space and is one of only three of its kind still remaining in the Netherlands. This rare feature makes the church a distinctive example of late medieval religious craftsmanship.
