Liudgerkerk Oldehove
The church at Oldehove dates back to the thirteenth century, but the tower was not built until the fifteenth century. The church underwent extensive renovation in 1664.

Stones from the disused St Bernard’s Monastery in Aduard were used in its construction. Above the southern tower entrance is inscribed: ‘This is the gate of heaven’. A fine introduction to the rich interior of the Liudger Church, where various traces of the Ewsum, De Mepsche and Ripperda families can be found. For example, in the seventeenth-century gentlemen’s benches with coats of arms carved into the woodwork. Even greater opulence can be found in one of the two burial vaults. Here stands a beautifully carved tomb for the Viennese Countess Margaretha von Cobentzel.
