Sint-Barbarakerk, Neo-Gothic Catholic church in Culemborg, Netherlands
The Sint-Barbarakerk features a prominent tower called Barbaratoren and combines brick and natural stone construction in its architectural design at Markt square.
Built in 1886 by architect Petrus Johannes van Genk to replace the deteriorating Sint-Janskerk, the church received its consecration on December 4, Saint Barbara's feast day.
The church preserves the Elisabeth Bell from 1555, cast by Jan Tolhuis and named after Elisabeth of Culemborg, though it no longer rings due to damage.
The building maintains status as a Rijksmonument with number 11576 and underwent substantial restoration work in 1991 to preserve its structural integrity.
The church houses an 1861 Christian Gottlieb Friedrich Witte organ, originally from Janskerk, which received modifications through multiple restorations between 1972 and 1992.
