The Kapel van Sint Maarten

The Kapel van Sint Maarten is a church located in Hoogelande, a small village in the municipality of Veere, Zeeland, Netherlands. The church was founded in 1188, making it one of the oldest churches in the region.

The church is a ruin, with only the walls of the choir and parts of the nave remaining. It has been rebuilt over time, but its original architecture is still visible. The church serves as a place of worship for the local community.

The Kapel van Sint Maarten is Christian, specifically Roman Catholic.

Unfortunately, there is no information available on the architect who designed the original church or any subsequent rebuildings.
