de Ruïnekerk

The ruin in the center of the village is worth visiting for anyone who loves culture and history. As early as the eleventh century, there was a simple chapel in the present village center of Bergen, which was replaced shortly thereafter by a stone church. In the 15th century, a large village church in Gothic style arose but shortly thereafter, in February 1574, the building was destroyed by fire. A thorough restoration in the 1950s gave the building its current appearance. Start your visit to Bergen at the Ruined Church in the city center.
