Johannes de Doperkerk
s-Heer Abtskerke, NL
The church, which was dedicated to Saint John the Baptist until the Reformation, was built in the 14th century. It is considered to be the medieval village church in Zuid-Beveland that has been preserved in its original state. Dirk VII, Count of Holland, donated Abtskerke to Middelburg Abbey in 1196. After that, a parish existed there as a branch of the Middelburg Westmünster Church . From here, daughter churches were founded in the neighboring towns of Nisse and and Sinoutskerke.
