The Dutch Reformed Church in Oudeschild, Texel, is a 17th-century brick church at the heart of the island's historic fishing village. It serves as both an active place of worship and a community venue, hosting concerts and exhibitions. The church stands near the harbour, where visitors can observe the daily life of the fishing fleet.
What to expect
- Attend a Sunday service or a weekday open visit to see the original 1660s pulpit and carved wooden baptismal screen.
- View the church's collection of 18th-century maritime votive ships, hung as offerings by local sailors.
- Walk the short route from the church to the Oudeschild harbour, where the fish auction and historic windmill De Traanroeier are within 500 metres.
- Check the church noticeboard for monthly organ recitals on the restored 19th-century Flentrop organ.
- The building seats 200 people, and guided group tours of 45 minutes can be arranged for parties of 10 or more.
