The Martinikerk (Martin's church) is the oldest church in Groningen, Netherlands. The church and its associated tower (the Martinitoren) are named after Saint Martin of Tours (316–397), the patron saint of the Bishopric of Utrecht to which Groningen belonged. The church was a cathedral for a short period during the first bishopric of Groningen (1559–1594). The origins of the Martinikerk are a cruciform church built in the 13th century, which was extended in the 15th and 16th centuries. It contains several 16th-century tombs and Wessel Gansfort's 18th-century tomb. Much of the wall and roof paintwork has been preserved. Of particular note is a 16th-century depiction of the life of Jesus Christ. The tower was built from 1469 till 1482, with later additions. Citizens of Groningen often refer to the tower as ''d'Olle Grieze'' (''Old Grey One''). The original 13th-century tower was destroyed by lightning, and a new tower was built in the 15th century, also destroyed by lightning. Its organ contains stops dating back to 1450, and was rebuilt and enlarged by Arp Schnitger among others. 〔(The Martinikerk Organ in Groningen )〕 The church and organ are filmed extensively in the documentary ''Martinikerk Rondeau''. ==Gallery== Image:Martinitoren groningen.jpg|The Martinikerk and its tower File:Martinikerk Groningen.jpg|Martinikerk Groningen Image:Koorgewelf Martinikerk.JPG|Choir dome Martinikerk Image:Gewelfschildering Martinikerk Groningen.jpg|Dome painting Martinikerk Image:Orgel Martinikerk Groningen.jpg|Organ Martinikerk Image:Martinikerk Groningen orgel.JPG|Organ Martinikerk Image:Groningen noordoostelijk-deel ca 1575.jpg|Martinikerk ''City Atlas'' by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg 1575 Image:Martinikerk en Walburgkerk Groningen.png|Martinikerk 1594 Image:Groningenkeuring.jpg|''The Horse Inspection'' (Martinikerk in the backround) by Otto Eerelman 1920 Image:Groningen Grote Markt 1945.jpg|Martinikerk 1945 Image:Martini bij nacht.jpg|Martinikerk tower by night 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martinikerk (Groningen)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
