Urk Skulls' Grave

The small church is located in front of the "Urker vissersmonument". This is the oldest place of worship in Urk. The facade board above the main entrance has a symbol of Amsterdam ( 3 crosses = St. Andrew's Crosses). It's a reminder that Urk was owned by Amsterdam long time ago ( 1660-1792). The graveyard has a special story and it's called "Urk Skulls' Grave" The church was not open except on sunday.

nice little church which name actually means 'little church at the sea'
The name of this church does it justice and tells it all: 'little church at the sea'. It is of monumental value and is very close to the fishery monument remembering all the fishermen that lost their lives at sea.

Lovely little church
This is a lovely little church - the oldest building in Urk. It used to help the fishermen navigate.
