Grote of Sint-Maartenskerk w Tiel

The Sint-Maartenskerk features a central nave covered with a wooden barrel vault supported by octagonal brick pillars and two aisles with star vaults.

Construction of the church began between 1420 and 1430, with significant expansion in 1450, though parts remained unfinished due to the Protestant Reformation.

The interior houses twelve mid-16th century panels depicting saints, a copper lectern, and marble epitaphs that reflect the religious artistry of different periods.

The church maintains regular Protestant services and functions as a concert venue, with the tower remaining a central reference point in Tiel.

The church foundations, revealed during post-war archaeological excavations, are now visible through grass patterns in the Kerkplein square.
