Hornhuizen Church
This three-sided closed 19th century hall church replaced its medieval predecessor. The top of the 15th century tower fell in 1815 and was replaced. Inside we see a printed wooden barrel vault and some beautiful tombstones, including one form 1498 with a copper shield.
About this building
Historically, the dome-shaped lantern tower of the church was a beacon for shipping on the Wadden Sea, an role that remains important to this day. The colours used on the steeple are characteristic bright yellow and red.
In the 21st century the church was the village house and gathering location of Hornhuizen. There are also exhibitions (about loyalty, grief and everything in between). The Hornhuizen tower is also part of the Landmarks project. In this context, the tower is designed as a viewpoint over the landscape.
