The ruins of the church tower in Wissekerke 1872

Wissekerke is a farming community that belongs to the municipality of Goes in the Dutch province of Zeeland . The place should not be confused with Wissenkerke on the neighboring island of Noord-Beveland to the north .

The parish church of Wissekerke was the mother church of the churches of 's Heer Hendrikskinderen and ' s-Heer Arendskerke . In 1807 the nave of the Gothic parish church was laid down. The church tower, which had become a ruin, was finally torn down in 1876. The churchyard is still visible today.

Until 1816 Wissekerke was an independent municipality, from January 1st of this year it was part of the municipality of 's-Heer Hendrikskinderen .
