Protestantse gemeente Oudenhoorn

Nice, small authentic village

Beautiful beautiful church in a very nice town.

It is not certain when the church was built, most likely in 1363. After the reformation, the church passed into Protestant hands. The history of the church is one of renovations and renovations. In 1915, the church burned down completely, but much of the inventory could be saved, including the brass crowns and the ornament of the reader and the pulpit. In 1921 the new church was put into use. A thorough restoration was completed in 2014. The church surrounds the surrounding area part: the cemetery, which used to serve as a cemetery. As was customary in the past for Roman Catholic churches, the church was built in the east-west direction (choir to the east), so that when people entered, they looked to the east - to the light / Christ - and were also seated in the benches. source: rijksmonumenten.nl
