Hillegondakerk, Late Gothic church in Hillegersberg-Schiebroek, Netherlands
The Hillegondakerk features a stone structure with Gothic elements, including pointed arches and high windows that allow natural light into the interior space.
Following its destruction in 1426 during regional conflicts, builders used materials from the nearby Huis ten Berghe castle to reconstruct the church around 1500.
The church maintains a 1631 pulpit, a 1724 reading desk, and an 1830 Abraham Meere organ that received restoration work in 1982.
The church functions as both a protected monument and an active religious center, offering regular services and maintaining public visiting hours.
Local legend states that a giantess named Hillegond emptied sand from her apron in the peat area, creating the hill where the church stands.
