Kerkje van Harkema, Religious monument in Zuidhorn, Netherlands.
The church structure features traditional Dutch architectural elements with a carefully constructed moat and multiple decorative bridges surrounding the building.
Local farmer Albert Harkema dedicated over 30 years of his life to build this church, importing 12,000 bricks from Belgium for its construction.
The church reflects the regional building traditions of Middag-Humsterland, incorporating elements that connect to the monastic heritage of nearby Aduard.
Visitors can access the church site through designated cycling routes, connecting points 58 and 60 along the Pronkjewal Path network.
The property includes miniature lighthouses in the water features and a tea house modeled after the Aduard monastery's hospital ward.
