history

Around 1275 the construction of a church began in Groenlo. In the 15th century, the Bishop of Münster supported the building, which was completed around 1520 in its current form. During the Eighty Years' War the church came into the hands of the Reformed, and after 1674 it remained in their possession. Since 1978 the church has belonged to the “Oude Gelderse Kerken” foundation. In 2006 and 2007 the structure was restored. While the choir room is still used for the Reformed church service, the nave is used as an exhibition room. A permanent exhibition on the history of Groenlo is housed in the two aisles .
