Heilige Martinus

Luyksgestel, NL

Roman Catholic Church, dedicated to St. Martin, designed by architect Edmond Nijsten in shake-hands architecture and built in 1957. The parish priest was CJAE van Roosmalen. The church is located on a slight elevation on a modern square in the centre of Luyksgestel, detached from the 15th-century tower to which its predecessor was attached and somewhat set back from the building line of the tower and the parsonage on the right. The spatial integration of the church was limited by the condition that the old church had to remain standing until the new one was ready. The architect was given the freedom by the diocese to build "modern". There is a cemetery behind the church. The tabernacle and ornamental ironwork are by Johannes M. Koldeweij (1923-). In addition to the protected old statues mentioned in the description, the following works of art are present in the church: a crucifix from around 1400, a statue of St. Lucia, around 1875-1900, a statue of Mary with a crown, around 1600 and a 17th century chandelier; these were placed in the church at a later stage and are not part of the original inventory. The statues, chandelier and pulpit come from the old church or from the H. Kruiskapel in Luyksgestel. Among the Stations of the Cross, which came from elsewhere, the old Stations are still present, which consist of photographs by Martien Coppens of a Stations of the Cross made by Charles Eyck in Waalwijk.
