St. Walfriduskerk, Romanesque church in Bedum, Netherlands
St. Walfriduskerk features a stone tower from the 11th century and a two-aisled hall structure with Gothic elements from later modifications.
The church originated in 1050 as a pilgrimage site dedicated to Saint Walfridus and his son Radfridus, who were killed by Norse raiders.
The building transformed from a Catholic pilgrimage center to a Protestant church after 1594, leading to substantial architectural changes.
The church remains open for religious services and contains multiple historic gravestones, including those of Wigbolt van IJsselmuiden and Teteka Jarghes.
The church tower leans at 4.18 degrees from vertical, exceeding the inclination of the Tower of Pisa.
