The Mountain Church or Saint Nicholas Church ((オランダ語:Sint-Nicolaas- of Bergkerk)) is a former place of worship in Deventer, Overijssel. This Romanesque basilica was built around 1209〔(St-Nicolaas of Bergkerk )〕 and consecrated to Saint Nicholas. Centuries later it received some Late Gothic alterations. In 1580 the Dutch Reformed Church took the temple and renamed it the Mountain Church. In 1967 the church was disestablished and its property transferred to the Municipality of Deventer. The building is used as an exhibition center and concert hall.〔(Concerts at the Mountain Church )〕 From 1991 until 2005, the church was used for temporary exhibitions by Museum de Fundatie.〔 "(Kostendekkende exploitatie Bergkerk kan )", ''De Stentor'', 2005. Retrieved on 7 July 2014.〕 == Building and renovations == The Mountain Church was built between 1198 and 1209, near where the Deventer harbour section was at the time. It was founded in the golden age of the Hanseatic city. Its completion was dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron Saint of sailors, as the city Deventer took great advantage of their stratetic position on the River IJssel. The church has a lot of features in common with churches from around the Baltic Sea. In the fifteenth century the Mountain Church underwent several renovations, which gave it a more late Gothic appearance. The two characteristic tower spires are built in that period. The lower part is still original. In 1580 went over to the protestant church and all catholic features were removed from the interior, which was very common to do. The wall paintings were covered with white chalk. 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「St Nicholas Church, Deventer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
