Holland - Zaltbommel - St Martin's Church - Choir Stalls
The large bench for the leading citizens was constructed in about 1595 from the choir stalls, which date from 1420/1425.
The original choir stalls, at that time set up in the Choir, were used as seats for the canons of the Chapter, that was connected to the church from 1303 until the Reformation (1572). The wood carvings on the panels of both sides are among the oldest and most beautiful in the country.
