Sint Elisabethskerk, Grave, Gothic church in Grave, Netherlands
The Sint Elisabethskerk features late Gothic architecture with a Renaissance facade, displaying stone pilasters and caryatids on its southern gable point.
Founded around 1240 during Hendrik III van Cuyk's reign, the church sustained major damage in the 1415 city fire and underwent reconstruction between 1423 and 1473.
The interior contains Baroque furnishings from the early 18th century, including carved altars and a collection of religious statues depicting saints and biblical figures.
The church building remains accessible to visitors during open monument days, with guided tours explaining its architectural evolution through eight centuries.
Archaeological excavations between 1979 and 1989 revealed the original Romanesque church foundations beneath the current building's nave section.
