Tips from the Community
It is likely that Saint Martin or one of his successors had a church built in this area. The present late Gothic church building dates from the period 1300 to 1350. Oud-Zevenaar was once a place of pilgrimage. Many miracles are said to have occurred at the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows, which was placed in the church in 1440 and stolen in 1975. A replica is now in the church. The stained-glass windows, depicting the Seven Sorrows of Mary, were created in 1931 by the stained-glass artist Joep Nicolas. Next to the main entrance is a stone indicating a height of 15.25 cm above sea level (NAP).

The Oude Rijn in Gelderse Poort is a 21.7-kilometer-long, dead river arm in the municipality of Zevenaar, which served as the main route of the Rhine until 1707. This natural area lies between the German border and the cities of Arnhem and Nijmegen and forms the beginning of the Rhine delta, where the river branches off.
