Protestantse Kerk

Kloosterweg 2, 1935 BJ Egmond-Binnen, Netherlands

The Protestantse Kerk

The Protestantse Kerk is a church located at Kloosterweg 2 in Egmond-Binnen, Netherlands.

The church was built in 1836 on the site of the Buurkerk, one of two churches that remained standing after the destruction of the St-Adelbertabdij in 1573. Some of the old abbey church's wallwork has been used in the current church.

  • Buurkerk: The church was designed by Hermanus Hendrik Dansdorp, a supervisor at Rijkswaterstaat, for the Dutch Reformed Church.
  • The nearby St-Adelbertabdij purchased the church and surrounding grounds on September 18, 2020, regaining possession of its ancient lands and archaeological remains.

The church features a cabinet organ by J.P. Hilgers from 1762, originally from the Slotkapel in Egmond aan den Hoef. A bell by François Hemony from 1661 hangs in the clock tower.

  1. In 1914-15, the church was torn down to just above ground level and rebuilt.
  2. The church underwent restoration work in 1933.

Since 1968, the church building, including its grounds and grave monument, has been registered as a national monument.
