Beesd (G): reformed church
Like
the church of nearby Acquoy,
the
reformed church of Beesd is mostly
important for its tower. Just like the one in Acquoy, the tower of
Beesd was not completed. The lower part dates from ca. 1500 and is in
modest Lower-Rhine
Gothic style. The upper part, which was built some 50 years
later,features important influences from the Campine Gothic style, like
the diagonally positioned stepped buttresses.On top of the tower is
what seems to be te beginning of an intended octagonal upper part.
