Weekly church service The celebrations in this church are usually on Sundays at 10:00 AM. Reconstruction In 1572 another church was looted by the Watergeuzen. The R.K. built its own church here in 1573. The present church was built in 1862-1863. And there is even more history: there are three chandeliers in the church, two of which date from the 17th century.
