De Bergkerk: a medieval space as a cultural stage

Deventer’s Bergkerk is both a monument and a venue for changing exhibitions, concerts and events, with no permanent museum collection.

Plan your visit ↗

Frescoes in the walls

Thirteenth-century frescoes are mentioned as a special feature. Look at their position, fragmentation and traces of restoration, and let reliable explanation guide your reading of the church’s imagery.

Organ and gravestones

The Holtgräve organ and historic gravestones reward attention to sound, inscription and placement. A concert gives you a different kind of access than an exhibition visit.

The programme changes the church

A temporary exhibition can strongly affect the sightlines and atmosphere. Check in advance what is taking place and whether regular access is limited by set-up work or an event.

Before you go

This is a cultural monument with a changing programme. Event listings sometimes use house number 14; Bergkerkplein 1 is used here as the visitor address. Concerts may require a separate ticket.
