Brother Church

Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled in the heart of Deventer, the Broederenkerk is a captivating blend of history and architecture that dates back to the early 14th century. Originally established as a monastery around 1300, this site saw the construction of a church between 1335 and 1338, commissioned by Eleonora of England, the then Duchess of Gelre. The church, also known as St. Lebuïnus Church, owes its name to the Franciscan Friars Minor, affectionately referred to as "broeders," who were instrumental in its inception.

As you wander through Deventer, the Broederenkerk stands out with its remarkable presence, offering a unique glimpse into the past. The exterior is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, with intricate stonework and towering spires that draw the eye. Step inside, and you're greeted by a serene interior, where light filters through stained glass windows, casting colorful patterns on the stone floors.

Deventer itself is a delightful city to explore, with its charming cobbled streets and vibrant cultural scene. While you're there, don't miss out on trying the local delicacy, Deventer Koek, a spiced cake that's been a favorite for centuries. Whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or simply in search of a picturesque spot to relax, the Broederenkerk and its surroundings offer something for everyone.
