THE TOWER OF NEDERHORST DEN BERG

Until 1888, Nederhorst den Berg could only be recognized from a distance by the tower of the centuries-old Willibrord Church on the hill. In 1811, a small tower was added to the Catholic church behind the Voorstraat, but that tower could not be seen from a distance.

From 23 May 1888, the image of Nederhorst den Berg could be seen to change. A large church with a 49 m. high tower was built on the Reevaart. Construction progressed smoothly, with only two notable setbacks recorded in the logbook: On 26 February 1889, one of the carpenters working on the spire fell from the bottom beam in the tower. The man had drunk a bit too much spirit. He came out of it ‘surprisingly well’. And then there is also talk of a lightning strike in the tower, but the damage from that was also very limited. Apparently, there was some blessing on the work…

On 14 May 1889, the Mariakroon could be placed around the cross as the crowning glory of the work. 10 August 1889 is recorded as the last working day at the ‘solid village church’ of architect Y. Bijvoets Gzn. from Amsterdam. Many parishioners will have followed the great work with enthusiasm and appropriate pride. Such a church, defining its image in a prominent place, made it clear that the Catholics, after having lived in the shadows for centuries, counted. And then to think that at some point, due to a threatening shortage of money, parish priest Vismans suggested building a church without a tower. It is hard to imagine that he really took that possibility into account. In his eyes, a church without a tower would never have been truly finished.

We heated the church with 4 gas radiators of the type PL15 EID2G and we heated the ancillary rooms with 9 electric high-temperature infrared panels.
