Nederlands Hervormde Kerk

Kerkstraat 47
Vaals
There has been a church on the mountain since the Middle Ages, the tower of which dates from around 1300. This tower was restored in 1648.
The church building was located on the east side, now a parking lot has been built here. The medieval church served as a simultaneous church for both Catholics and Protestants from 1649.

In 1669-1671 the High German Reformed community had a classicist hall church built against the north side. The older building, meanwhile, continued to be used by the Catholics and in 1754 the medieval church building (the Catholic part) was replaced by a Baroque church. After the demolition of this church in 1967, the Reformed church building with the old church tower remains. Saint Paul's Church was built for Catholics at the end of the 19th century. The reformed church is a national monument.

The Dutch Reformed Church is the highest church in the Netherlands!
