Oostkerk, Middelburg

The church can be spotted on the Middelburg horizon by its characteristic round dome.

The church was designed by Bartholomeus Drijfhout [nl] and Pieter Post and was built between 1648 and 1667.

[1] After Drijfhout died in 1651, the building was continued under the Leiden architect Arent van 's-Gravesande [nl], who had just completed the Marekerk in Leiden.

[1] Two stained glass windows from 1664 still exist in the church, and the klokkenstoel [nl] contains a bell by Claes Noorden and one by Jan Albert de Grave [nl], 1715.
