Sint Willibrordusput en Witte Kerk Heiloo
Sint Willibrordusput en Witte Kerk Heiloo submitted by Hunengrab77 : Site in Noord-Holland Netherlands (Vote or comment on this photo)
One of the three holy wells in and around Heiloo, according to legend this one was dug by the missionary saint Willibrord in the 7th century. The oldest parts of the church date back to the 11th century, but archaeological finds indicate an older wooden building from around 720.

Possibly this is a much older place of worship, since the church was built on a sand hill, a remarkable feature in the landscape. The meaning of the name of the place, Heiloo, is interpreted as either Holy Wood or Holy Height. There are no archaeological indications for the historical existence of a forest in the area.
