Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Church of Our Lady of the Presentation is what is known as a “waterstaat church.” In 1798, Catholicism was once again permitted, and it was decided that the old main church would become the property of the largest religious community in that area. The Catholics had not had a church since 1648, at most a clandestine church or a barn church. This meant that there was often a shortage of one church. Between 1824 and 1875, there was therefore a regulation allowing churches to be built with financial support from the national government. The design and construction of these churches had to be approved and inspected by engineers from the Ministry of Water Management, hence the name "waterstaat church."
