Sint-Cunibertuskerk, Medieval church in Wahlwiller, Netherlands
Sint-Cunibertuskerk is a church with medieval origins in Wahlwiller, consisting of two construction phases. The limestone foundation dates to the early 12th century, while the upper portion of brick was rebuilt in the mid-17th century.
The church was established in the High Middle Ages and belonged to the community of Wahlwiller in the Limburg region. In 1215, Duke Hendrik III van Limburg transferred management rights to the Johannites of Mechelen, who then took responsibility for its upkeep.
The church is named after Saint Cuthbert and served as a pilgrimage destination where visitors came to venerate relics. The interior reveals how local people gathered here for prayer and devotion over centuries.
The church welcomes visitors at Oude Baan 23 and is accessible during regular opening hours. It is wise to check in advance whether the church is open when you plan to visit, as holidays or religious services may affect access.
The interior holds a series of sixteen station panels created by artist Aad de Haas in 1946, which returned after restoration in 1981. These modern artworks stand in contrast to the ancient architecture and show how the church continued to serve as a place of cultural and spiritual expression.
