The Old Church at Kerkeinde, Sleeuwijk
The Old Church is a former Reformed Church Building in Sleeuwijk, Actually the Works. It is located at Kerkeinde 32 at the foot of the dike.
In the 16th century a chapel was built, which must have been a simple hall. When the Merwededijk was crossed by the Geuzen in 1589, this church was severely damaged. It came into the hands of the Reformed and repair work was carried out. While there was already a 3/8 choir seal, such a closure was added on the west side in 1613 - 1614. As such, the church can be regarded as an example of early Protestant church construction. In 1856, plastering was applied, as well as a pitch vault and drawbars. Between 1902 and 1910, a number of changes were reinstated in 1856, but vaults and drag beams were maintained. Later, some buildings have been put in place, but most of the wallwork is still 16th and 17th centuries.
The organ dates back to 1962 and was built by H.J. Vierdag in Enschede. It has served in a number of churches and was placed in Sleeuwijk in 2006. Externe link 51° 49′ 28″ NB, 4° 55′ 56″ OL
