Light a candle for a person or animal still present in your thoughts or heart. The church and the organ are both national monuments and were fully renovated in 2012.

Waddenkerk
The Waddenkerk is a stone's throw from the Wadden Sea. This church dates from 1841. The church is used by the Wadden Community, a Reformed church community (PKN). New church This church is still quite 'new'. The Eierlandse polder dried up in 1835 and made way for the village of De Cocksdorp. Four years later, the construction of this Reformed church started. Where other churches on the island have a long history, this church of De Cocksdorp is one of the youngest on Texel.
