The Herv church in Wormerveer

betekenis & definitie

(Noordeinde 21) is a one-aisled church with three-sided closure, a southern crossarm and a small wooden gable tower. This church was established in 1639 on the spot of a predecessor destroyed by Spanish troops in 1574.

In the gable tower hangs a clock (1662) cast by François Hemony. The southern crossarm with portal construction dates from 1767 and is equipped with a top façade with pediment and corner fences in Louis XV style. The church was restored in 1970. The inventory includes two 18th-century psalm plates, a Louis XVI-style duo in the late 18th century and an organ built by H. Knipscheer (1846, restored in 1983).
