Saint Servatius Church
Saint Servatius Church stands in the heart of Schijndel.
Saint Servatius Church is located in the centre of Schijndel. In its current elongated Neo-Gothic form, the church dates from 1839. The interior is often described as “a space that radiates tranquillity through its balanced and robust proportions.” Visitors can admire the monumental Smits organ from 1852, the tombstone of the historic naval hero Jan van Amstel, and the Sacred Heart statue in the church garden. It is also possible to climb the majestic church tower and view the various bells up close.
Groups can visit the church by appointment and be guided through its rich history and heritage.
During a guided visit, a series of images and photographs provides an overview of the architectural and historical development of Saint Servatius Parish and Saint Servatius Church from around 1300 to the present day. The guide explains the church interior, its artworks and the symbolism found in features such as the historic communion rail, the baptismal font, the confessionals, the high altar and the organ with its gallery.
