Sint-Corneliuskerk, Catholic church building in Limmen, Netherlands.
Description
Sint-Corneliuskerk is a Catholic church building in Castricum designed in the neo-Romanesque style, with a prominent central tower that rises above the village. The interior follows a traditional layout with a nave, side aisles, and an altar area framed by the stained glass windows mentioned above.
History
This house of worship traces its roots back more than 1,000 years, when a wooden church first stood on the site in the early medieval period. The current neo-Romanesque building replaced earlier structures and was rebuilt after a fire destroyed much of it in recent decades.
Culture
The building holds five stained glass choir windows created by the Van Rooyen brothers from Roermond, which cast colored light across the interior and frame religious imagery. These windows shape how visitors experience the space inside.
Practical
The building is open to visitors during religious services and often for viewing the interior and artworks on other occasions. Contacting the local community beforehand can help confirm current access arrangements and visiting hours.
Did you know?
A major fire in 2018 damaged significant portions of the structure, after which restoration work began to recover what was lost. This rebuilding effort demonstrates the community's commitment to keeping this landmark standing.
