Facts and practical information

The Reformed Church in Den Hoorn is a striking church building from 1425 with a white tower. The wooden chapel at this location was demolished in 1409.

In 1450, the tower was realized against the west facade. In 1604 the interior was destroyed by the Sea Beggars.

The church still consists of only three bays. In fact, the choir section was demolished in 1641 and the nave was closed by the stone gable in 1646. On that wall is still the date 1646. But the church itself is much older.

The church is located at the northern edge of the village. However, the church used to be in the center; many houses have been demolished in recent centuries due to vacancy.

A floodlight is attached to the balustrade of the church tower to serve as a beacon for shipping on the Schulpengat.

The church organ was manufactured in 1857 by the Zwolle organ-building firm of J.C. Scheuer & Sons. It has one manual, eight stops and an attached pedal.

The church building is a national monument.
