The Church of Ellesdiek

Ellewoutsdijk, NL

Built on foundations of old church. . No longer in use as a reformed church. t Kerkje van Ellesdiek (Ellewoutsdijk) wants to be a centre for philosophy of life, culture and friendship. Zeeland, Zeelanders and Zeelandic have an advantage. Not to keep out the foreign, but to honour the close! Zeelandic, whatever Zeelandic dialect, is the main language in and of 't Kerkje as far as that is meaningfully applicable. 't Kerkje is located in the former Dutch Reformed Church of Ellewoutsdijk. After this church merged and the church building became vacant, the foundation was established and bought the vacant building to organise activities in it and thus also to be able to preserve the public function of the building for the village. 't Kerkje is run by volunteers. Those who do volunteer work in/for 't Kerkje do so because they find it important, pleasant, fun, because of social contacts or to experience all kinds of things in the field of philosophy of life and/or culture and in an atmosphere of friendship.
