Kerk van Heveskes

The church features a single-nave structure with a Romanesque-Gothic architectural design, incorporating thick stone walls and a prominent tower from the 12th century.

Built between 1200 and 1270, the church endured severe damage during the Eighty Years' War in 1584, when troops destroyed much of its original structure.

The sandstone baptismal font from the early 12th century, now in Termunten church, represents one of the oldest religious artifacts in Groningen province.

The church building stands at coordinates 53.309 latitude and 6.96531 longitude, maintaining its position despite industrial development in the surrounding area.

The structure remains as one of the final vestiges of the former village of Heveskes, which was largely demolished for industrial expansion in the 1960s.
