Oude Helenakerk, Church building in Aalten, Netherlands

The Oude Helenakerk features a late Romanesque tower made of tuff stone, with high walls and small round-arched windows characteristic of the period.

The initial church at this location dates back to around 800 CE when Charlemagne mandated every community to construct a place of worship.

The church transitioned from Catholic to Protestant use in 1597, following the capture of Bredevoort by Prince Maurice of Nassau.

Located at Landstraat 22 in Aalten, the church maintains its structural components through regular maintenance and restoration efforts since 1973.

The tower spire features a constricted needle shape, while the three-nave structure contains wall paintings from the late 15th century.
