Enserkerk, Reformed church in Middelbuurt, Netherlands.

The Enserkerk stands at Middelbuurt 3 with a slate roof and neoclassical design elements, representing early 19th-century Dutch ecclesiastical architecture.

Built in 1834 under Willem I's Royal Decree, this church replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1717 that suffered substantial damage during the 1825 storm.

The church transitioned from a place of worship to an archaeological museum, preserving artifacts and information about the former island of Schokland.

Located within the UNESCO World Heritage site, the building now functions as both a museum and a wedding venue for the Municipality of Noordoostpolder.

The slate roof was specifically designed to collect rainwater for community use, addressing fresh water scarcity on the former Zuiderzee island.
