Exmorra Church, Exmorra, Netherlands

The church of Exmorra is a small one-aisled church from the 13th century. In ca. 1300 the nave was lengthened and a tower was added. Of this tower, which collapsed in 1836, only the lower part remains. That same year the wooden tower and the western facade were built. Until the church was restored in 1963-1966 it was covered with a thick coat of plaster, underneath which many traces of its original Romanesque condition had been preserved. The big windows in the nave were replaced by smaller ones on the north side. On this side the wall has a peculiar curve. In the south wall thelarger windows, which are probably from the 19th century, remained.

In 2018 we were allowed to perform the beautiful project "Titus Words Will Take Wing" with the Frysk Fanfare Orchestra in this special church. In February 2020 we will carry out the project "Frisia meets Anglia, at 5 ft distance" in the Martini Church. A beautiful space in terms of concerts with special acoustics. We're looking forward to it!

This week a live TV broadcast organized from the Martini Church in Bolsward. Particularly surprised by the professional and adequate guidance by the manager of the Martini Church and the manager of the associated Convent. Very flexible (nothing was too much), clear and very fast in answering questions. Recommended as an event location!

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
