Van Harenskerk, Protestant church in Sint Annaparochie, Netherlands
Description
Van Harenskerk is a Protestant church building with a Greek cross floor plan and architectural features typical of the late 17th century. A northern family chapel was added in 1686, extending the structure and creating additional interior space.
History
Built in 1683, this structure replaced earlier wooden churches that served the expanding population of Sint Annaparochie. It represents the third church to occupy this location, reflecting the area's religious development over generations.
Culture
The church is now cared for by the foundation Alde Fryske Tsjerken and serves as a venue for services and cultural gatherings throughout the year. It remains a meaningful meeting place for the local community.
Practical
The building is located at van Harenstraat 1 in Sint Annaparochie and opens during cultural events and regular services. Since it is not open daily, planning your visit in advance or asking locally about access times is helpful.
Did you know?
The entrance gate was donated by King Charles XI of Sweden, linking this local place of worship to European royal history. This gift represents a surprising connection between a small Dutch church and Scandinavian royalty.
