The methodist church of Philipsburg, St. Maarten

This church is sometimes referred to as the Old Enlgish church or the Wesleyan church. The first church on this location was built in 1851 and in 1978 replaced bu this beautifull wooden masterpiece. There are alomst no art elements inside but the church provides a warm ambience. We like the white blue doors and window covers.

Deze kerk wordt ook wel eens de Oude Engelse kerk of Wesleyan kerk genoemd. Het eerste kerkgebouw werd opgetrokken in 1851 en later in 1978 vervangen door het huidige houten meesterwerk. Binnen vind je bijna geen kunst maar de kerk is warm en gezellig. We houden van de donker bruine kleur in combinatie met witte deuren en raamluiken..

    How very strange! All these blue columns with the red signs, is there a door at each one? Why so many doors? Does each row have a door? I also like the zig-zag picket fence.

    These humble and colorful little churches are such a contrast from the European churches that you have posted. So amazing!

    Church so different from the Gothic and Romanesque churches! I really like the atmosphere of these small churches. Good week :)

    Looks like a pretty bright and cheerful place. I can imagine some good music coming from the church.

    It has quite an historic appearance for a building which is relatively new.

    hallo Filip en Kristel, ik doe nog even een rondje langs de fotoblogs alvorens een maandje te 'verdwijnen'. zaterdag vertrek ik immers met husband voor 3 weken naar Colombia, waar we een auto zullen huren en rondtoeren! Moet dringend beginnen met valiezen pakken!
    hartelijke groetjes, Hilde
