   A rather big historic church in a relatively small village of just 328 inhabitants. After a thorough renovation (2013) it is now not only the center of the Protestant community, but also suitable for other purposes. The church was built in 1440, but set on fire by 'watergeuzen' (rebels fighting Spanish occupation) in 1576. Spanish soldiers who withdrew to the church and tower were attacked. The ones who tried to escape from the burning building and eventually jumped from the tower -22 in number- were brutally killed on the ground, if still alive. In 1589 the church was rebuilt. There was an interesting exhibition inside the church with photos of the big flood in 1953. Noordwelle got inundated and all villagers were evacuated. Stunning pictures. See more..
