Dorpskerk

Dorpskerk is a Protestant church in Arnemuiden with plain, ordered architecture reflecting traditional Dutch building methods. The building features brick and stone with tall windows that flood the interior with light and includes a bell tower that rises above the marketplace.

An earlier church building on this site dates from 1505 as a chapel dedicated to Saint Martin. The current structure was built in 1858 to replace the older building and provide more space for the growing community.

The church serves as a gathering place for Arnemuiden's Protestant community and reflects religious roots that run deep in this harbor town. The simple architecture and functional design show the Reformed faith and plainness typical of Protestant churches throughout this region.

Access is straightforward since the church sits directly on the marketplace and is easily reached by public transportation. Visitors should check opening times beforehand, as regular services take place and the building may only be open at certain times.

The church's bell tower houses a mechanism that displays tide times, connecting the religious building to Arnemuiden's maritime traditions. This feature links the place directly to the harbor and fishing heritage of the community.
