Hervormde kerk, Oudeschild, Reformed church in Oudeschild, Netherlands
The Hervormde kerk is a reformed church building on Texel island in the village of Oudeschild, defined by buttresses and a wooden facade tower. The structure stands close to the harbor and sits among other historic buildings in this waterfront settlement.
The building was founded around 1600 and underwent major changes over time, including expansion work in the 1740s. In the late 1800s it received a new plaster finish that altered its appearance.
The interior holds objects that reflect the reformed faith tradition of the community. These pieces show how belief and craftsmanship shaped the religious life of people here.
The building is located at Trompstraat 60 and forms part of a group of about 30 registered national monuments in this coastal village. It sits within a collection of other historic structures that together create the character of the community.
The church tower houses a bell cast in 1719 by the bell founder Jan Albert de Grave. This bell survived a lightning strike and was restored in the early 1900s.
