Janskerk Hoorn, Medieval church in Hoorn, Netherlands.

The Saint John's Church features a single nave structure with a small yet robust tower positioned on its western side.

Built in the 13th century, the church started as a chapel in 1230 and underwent several modifications throughout the medieval period.

The church cemetery contains gravestones dating back to 1611, serving as the final resting place for island residents since the 13th century.

Guided tours are offered twice weekly during peak season, allowing visitors to explore the architectural details and historical elements.

Next to the church stands the last remaining Sjouw, a pole with a ball system that indicated meal and milking times for farmers.
