Sint Hippolytuskerk, Middelstum, Medieval church in Middelstum, Netherlands.
The Sint Hippolytuskerk stands as a Gothic cross church with a three-sectioned tower and a seventeenth-century lantern dome atop its structure.
Construction of the church began in 1445 under Onno van Ewsum's commission, who initiated the project after returning from his pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
The church interior contains extensive vault paintings depicting religious scenes, including representations from Albrecht Dürer's Little Passion series beneath its arches.
The church maintains a functioning carillon of thirty bells, with twenty-three original pieces crafted by François Hemony in 1662 and seven additions from 1949.
A crypt beneath the choir section houses the remains of the Van Ewsum family, connecting the church directly to its founding benefactors.
