Sint-Laurentiuskerk, Medieval church in Voerendaal, Netherlands
The Sint-Laurentiuskerk features a Romanesque tower, red brick nave from 1840, and additions from 1917 constructed with local Kunrader limestone.
The church foundation dates to 1100, with Pope Leo IX consecrating the original structure in 1049, marking a period of Christian restoration following Norman invasions.
The building contains a 12th-century baptismal font made of Namur stone, stained glass windows depicting religious scenes, and a 1948 Resistance Monument.
Located at Kerkplein 37, the church offers weekly Mass services and maintains online accessibility for remote participation in religious gatherings.
This church stands as the only religious structure in the Netherlands that received consecration directly from a pope during medieval times.
