Hervormde kerk Rhoon

Hervormde kerk Rhoon is a Protestant church building in the village of Rhoon with characteristic late Gothic architecture. The structure combines a tower, nave, and choir section together, with the choir and tower built around 1430 and the space between them filled in around 1500.

The building was constructed in two phases: the choir and tower were built in the 1430s, while the connecting space between them was completed about a hundred years later around 1500. This gradual development shows how the parish congregation expanded and improved its worship space over time.

The church carries the name of Saint Willibrord and reflects religious traditions that have been practiced in this village for centuries. The gravestones inside tell the story of community members who found their final resting place here.

The building sits along Dorpsdijk and is easily reached from the village center. The church remains an active place of worship and community use, so checking opening times ahead of a visit is advisable.

In the choir sits a leper window through which people with leprosy could attend mass from outside without entering the congregation space. This opening is a rare example of how medieval churches addressed social needs.
