The Herv church in Zuid-Scharwoude

betekenis & definitie

or 'Koogerkerk' (Koog 30) is a plastered one-aisled church with three-sided closure and a gable tower with frontals and needle spits. Excavations have shown a 12th century tufa predecessor, dedicated to St. Peter, which was replaced in the 15th century by a larger church with a tower. This church was renewed in 1819 and - after the tower had collapsed in 1905 - shortened and provided with a gable tower. In it is a clock cast by Ricout Butendiic (1448).

The church inventory includes a pulpit (1650), one by L. van Dam & amp; amp; Zn. built organ (1881) and a neo-Renaissance gentleman's bank (1914).

The form. presbytery (Voorburggracht 169) is a two-tier medieval corridor dating from around 1870.
