history

In 1421 the church of Oostdorp, located outside the dike, was destroyed in a flood. Duke Johann III. von Bayern-Holland gave permission the following year to demolish the old church and start a new building within the diked area. In 1458 the church, a two-aisled, late Gothic hall church, was largely completed. The tower was completed by 1524. Inside is a carillon made by the Hemony brothers . In the 16th century the church passed to the Reformed, who still use it today as a worship service. The vault paintings, whitewashed after the Reformation, were exposed again in the 20th century. Between 2001 and 2004 the church was restored.

The church is currently used by the Enkhuizen parish of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands .
