Sint-Martinuskerk, Church building in Vijlen, Netherlands
The Sint-Martinuskerk stands on Vijlenberg hill at 195 meters above sea level, with a 65-meter tower visible from the surrounding area.
The church, designed by architect Carl Weber, replaced a medieval structure in 1860 and reached completion in 1879 after financial construction delays.
The neo-gothic architecture follows the Lower Rhine Gothic style, featuring three naves under one continuous roof in the Stufenhalle configuration.
The church grounds include a cemetery enclosed by natural stone walls, with the main entrance accessible from the central road through Vijlen.
This parish church holds the distinction of being one of the highest-situated religious structures in the Netherlands at its elevation point.
