Adorp Church

You'll end up in the baroque when you enter the 14th century church of Adorp, as a result of a renovation in the 17th century.

About this building

The original church, built in Artharpe, a wiering village, had a free-standing tower. The tower that served as a lookout post and veste for the residents of Adorp and Harssens until the 18th century, as it was demolished in 1794 and replaced by a roof turret.

The interior appeals to the imagination with the pulpit, communion table and choir fence all dating to pre-1667.

Nowadays the church is managed by a group of volunteers from the village. The Cultural Committee Adorp organizes, in addition to concerts, exhibitions of visual artists (from the region, among others).

Klein Wetsinge Church

According to the brickwork, this beautiful church was built in 1840. The shape is neo-classical and of a sobriety that fits the landscape. The large wooden zinc roofed roof turret, which crowns the building, does not have the simplicity that characterizes the red brick base.
