Niekerk Church

A closed, 13th century hall church that is completely plastered. Underneath the plasterwork however, remains a lot of the original building material.

About this building

In 1629 many renovations were made: the tower, west wall and a small piece of the south wall were built from smaller stones. The original Romanesque windows were also enlarged to wide round arch windows.

Inside the church there is a wooden shed, an 18th century pulpit and a gentleman's couch from 1680 with weapons from Van Inn and Kniphuisen and Lewe. The church is used for church services and cultural activities.

Zuurdijk Church

It is believed that the church of Zuurdijk dates back to at least 1287, but building traces that have been found suggest that the church could be about fifty years older. In 1849 the hall church was thoroughly renovated, and much of the medieval character was lost. Originally there were brick vaults, of which arch forms are still recognizable in the wall.
