Tips from the Community
It is likely that Saint Martin or one of his successors had a church built in this area. The present late Gothic church building dates from the period 1300 to 1350. Oud-Zevenaar was once a place of pilgrimage. Many miracles are said to have occurred at the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows, which was placed in the church in 1440 and stolen in 1975. A replica is now in the church. The stained-glass windows, depicting the Seven Sorrows of Mary, were created in 1931 by the stained-glass artist Joep Nicolas. Next to the main entrance is a stone indicating a height of 15.25 cm above sea level (NAP).
