![]() Streefkerk (ZH): reformed church
It is uncertain when the
first church of Streefkerk
was built.
Possibly there was only a small chapel, but at least one
source
claims that there was a church in 1310. The current church dates from
the 15th century. In the second quarter of the 15th century
the
current tower was built, most likely as part of an older church. It was
probably heightened with the third segment at the end of that century,
when the church was built. It was, and is, a one-aisled cruciform
church in late-Gothic style. Remarkable for a one-aisled church is the
lateral choir on the north side; according to some this part was added
after a fire in 1647, long after the church had become protestant and
even longer after Gothic had gone out of style. Although not
impossible, it is unlikely. |
