Zandeweer church

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, the church in Zandeweer dates from the Middle Ages and was built in the 13th century.

There is a 15th century bell tower standing separate from the church. During WW2 the Germans took the 2 bells from the tower to melt them down, though when the war was over the bells were found unharmed.

View to the back of the church. Our hike continues..

Zandeweer main street

The Hoofdstraat (Main Street) in the village of Zandeweer. It's Sunday and quiet. We are walking towards the Middle Aged church that you see in the background.

A place to rest

Just outside the village of Zandeweer we passed this bench that has a two-dimensional image on it. A bit of googling later learned that it is one of five similar pieces that are called "rustpunten" ('places to rest"). All are in this region, and were made by Maree Blok and Bas Lugthart, two visual artists who live and work together. More is on their website HERE.
