The Dorpskerk in Abcoude is a historic village church dating from the 14th century. It is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands. It is currently used as a place of worship by the Protestant Church.

The church has a straight closed single-aisled nave and a tower with five sections with a staircase tower and a constricted spire. The tower, with a vaulted lower space, was built at the end of the 14th century. The 14th-century nave with choir and the 15th-century northern aisle burned down in 1848. During the reconstruction in 1849-'55, parts of the old masonry were used, including a 15th-century basket-arch gate with a rectangular surrounding drip moulding. The tower was restored in 1956, the church in 1963. The inventory includes late 18th-century psalm boards and a 19th-century pulpit.

In 1991 the church was refurbished. The heating was replaced. The wooden floor was replaced by a stone one and the wooden benches by chairs. In addition, a kitchen was fitted out and the church was made suitable for multifunctional use. Financially, the job was made possible thanks to the willingness to sacrifice of the Nieuwlanders, including people who were not members of our congregation. 36 guilders were raised per inhabitant. In addition, many volunteers helped out, which kept the costs down. The clock faces and hands of the tower were overhauled in the period October/November 1991. In 1994 the civil authorities restored the church tower.
