Not only secco on the ceiling but also on the wall and some pillars though some of them are severely damaged. Still, it is a beautiful church. There is a plaque on the wall about the church during the WW2. The tower of the church shows that it was once bombed ( no more 30m high spire tower). Visit this church if you visit zaltbommel.

The northeast section dates from 1303 and is still intact. In Gothic style which was considered very modern in those days. The main part of the church was completed around 1500. The tower somewhat later. Few people know that the heartland of the Netherlands during the Middle-Ages was much more towards the east where the land was less prone to flooding. Zaltbommel and its basilica is much older than Amsterdam that gained prominence much later. What struck me about the church interior was the fresco-secco work underneath the plaster which is visible in some parts. After the Protestants took over in 1572 they imposed their fundamentalist views and whitewashed the 'heretic' Catholic images on the walls, demolished all sculptures. Remarkable as well: the pew of the Philips family with graffiti of Anton and Gerard (closely related to Karl Marx as their grandmother and Marx's mother were sisters).
