history
The Maartenskerk was built in the 11th century on a Vliedberg as a daughter church of the West Minster in Middelburg and is the oldest church in Zuid-Beveland . Findings in the masonry of today's Gothic church indicate a previous building in basilica forms.
The oldest part of the church is the 14th century tower . A single nave with a choir closed on five sides was added to it in the 15th century . Around 1500 a south aisle was added to the nave at the same height, creating the character of a hall church .
Furnishing
At the pulpit is Kanzeluhr received.
