Nieuwe kerk, Zierikzee
Facts and practical information
The Nieuwe Kerk is a church in the city of Zierikzee, in the Dutch province of Zeeland. The neoclassical structure was built in the period 1835-1848 as the successor to the Sint-Lievensmonsterkerk, which was reduced to ashes in 1832, of which only the tower remains today.
At the end of the Second World War, the church was severely damaged. Until 1971, the Reformed Church of Zierikzee owned the Nieuwe Kerk. Due to the heavy financial burden, they could no longer maintain the Nieuwe Kerk. Therefore, the building was closed in 1971. After the building came into the possession of the Stichting Oude Zeeuwse Kerken in 1971, it was restored in phases between 1978 and 1988 with its financial support.
In 1847, Kam & Van der Meulen built the organ on behalf of the church trustees.
