Heilige Sebastianus

Herpen, NL

Roman catholic church of St. Sebastian, consisting of a 14th century tower, rising flat, the masonry enlivened with blind niches; a Gothic choir from the end of the 15th century, and a neo-Gothic nave, built in 1907 by C. Franssen to replace a much lower nave. The choir, which is soberly treated on the outside, is covered by a rich net vault, the ribs of which come down to sculpted gilded heads. This vault shows a rich, heavily raised painting with saints' figures, passion emblems and vine ornaments, a gift from Philips van Cleve Ravenstein (died 1521), whose coat of arms is depicted in one of the vault shells. The largely neo-Gothic nave is three-aisled, with clustered pillars and triforium. Against the east wall of the side aisles, the vault ribs come down to sculpted gilded heads, just as in the choir. The church has a 13th century bluestone baptismal font, the bowl of which, decorated with heads and evangelist symbols, rests on a renewed shaft and foot surrounded by four columns. In the tower portal a 15th century Dutch Calvary group, originally belonging to a triumphal beam, polychromed (a copy on the neo-Gothic triumphal beam in front of the choir, a second copy in the churchyard). Small polychromed statue of St. Sebastian from around 1500. Baroque statue of Mary from around 1700.
