Warmond
Warmond's first church was founded in 1156. In the 15th century it was replaced by a new church in Gothic style of which only the tower and ruins remain. In 1573 this church, known as St. Matthias, was destroyed. In ca. 1600 the tower and the choir were rebuilt; the choir served as a reformed church until 1875. When a new reformed church was built the choir fell into decay. Location: Klinkenberg

In 1954 the church was extended with two lateral chapels and a sacristy, designed by H. van Oerle. Location: Herenweg 76 |
