H.H. Ewalden Church (Druten)

Highlight • Religious Site

In 1874 after a design by architect P.J.H. Cuypers built basilical three-aisled CHURCH under slate covered gable roof.

The church, built in neo-Gothic style, has a five-bays long central nave, a transept, two bays and deep choir and a five-sided choir closure; next to the attached tower, the central aisle, the transept arms and the choir are side aisle chapels; in the central aisle and the choir a wooden barrel vault, in the side aisles and the chapels, a stone cross vault; the windows of the clerestory are located between the ship piers; the side aisles have transverse roofs above gables; at the celebration an open bell tower with a spire; in the choir windows, the transept windows and the smaller side windows, stained glass windows by F. Nicolas from Roermond have been placed.

The neo-baroque organ dates from 1842 and was manufactured by F.C. Smits from Reek; the organ balcony, with carvings from the years 1847/1848, comes from the R.C. Church of Oyen.

The neo-Gothic H.H. Ewalden Church is of architectural and cultural-historical value.

Boldershof Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The old pavilions of Boldershof are located in Ambtshuisstraat in Druten. In 1903, the French sisters Filles de la Sagesse (Daughters of Wisdom) buy the villa Boldershof from the widow of Doctor Sauter.

They have permission from the Bossche bishop to settle in his diocese to work there for the greater honor and glory of God. Works they were not allowed to do in France. They accept every humble garden work and life and gifts of love.

Flood Monument 1861

Highlight • Monument

On February 1, 1861, a flood disaster struck Leeuwen due to drifting ice. Due to a breakthrough of the Waalbandijk, the entire Land van Maas and Waal was flooded and 37 people drowned. It was not until May that most of the water had disappeared. In the year after the disaster, it was decided to erect a memorial, but implementation was not forthcoming. King Willem III celebrated his silver jubilee in 1874. It was decided to erect a monument in memory of the disaster and as "proof of special tribute and gratitude for what H.M. did in 1861 to alleviate the need". The monument was unveiled on October 28, 1874.
The monument consists of a high column on a square base. A royal crown has been placed on top of the column, and a small wreath in relief at the base. The plinth has recessed surfaces on all sides, in which a plaque with inscription is placed.
