Nederland - Firdgum, kerktoren

Nederland - Firdgum, kerktoren
Firdgum is a small village on a terp (a man made mound), created in the Middle Ages. The little village has about 30 houses and 70 inhabitants. Until 1794 there was a 13th century Reformed church, dedicated to St. Nicolas. The church was demolished in 1794 as it was too dilapidated and dangerous to hold services in. The tower made of bricks - which still contains a bell from 1471 - has remained and still rises like a 19 meter high landmark in the flat landscape.

The three-storey gabled tower was restored in 1922 and a Lombard band was added. In 1986 the tower was restored again. The church tower is a national heritage monument of the Netherlands.

Cette tour suscite beaucoup l'imaginaire.. On est surpris d'apprendre qu'elle se trouve dans un trés petit village.Il y a une tour un peu semblable (mais bien moins haute) dans la commune où je suis né. Elle se trouve à côté d'une église du 12 eme qui existe encore.Ces lieux étaient beaucoup plus peuplés à l'époque , celà étant souvent lié à la présence de religieux. Ces endroits sont devenus beaucoup plus "confidentiels". Heureusement que de riches vestiges contribuent de les faire exister dans nos mémoires. Je te joins un lien où on voit une partie de cette petite église, hélas, je n'ai pas de photos sur Ipernity où l'on voit la tour) Amicalement. jean paul
