Description

Introduction

Roman Catholic church building protected exclusively BECAUSE OF the 18th century PULPIT, TWO ALTARS with components of the communion rail dating from around 1700 and an ORGAN, coming from the predecessor of the former St. Petrus Banden church, designed in 1856 by Th. Molkenboer and completely demolished and replaced in 1969 by the present church building. N.B. The pulpit and the communion rail have been re-installed in the new church in modified arrangement. The pulpit is now placed against the wall, whereby the staircase, originally running along a pier to the rear, has been turned forward and the attendants, formerly behind the left open door, are now positioned in front of the left church door. After restoration, five panels of the communion rail in the original sequence and surround have been reused in the main altar. Four angel figures, originally placed between the panels against pilasters, have been incorporated separately in a side altar.

The two side panels added to the communion rail in the nineteenth century with representations of Pelican with young and Lamb on book are executed in a different style and fall outside the protection.
