Oostkerk, Middelburg
The Oostkerk is a Protestant church in Middelburg. The church can be spotted on the Middelburg horizon by its characteristic round dome. History![]() The church was designed by Bartholomeus Drijfhout and Pieter Post and was built between 1648 and 1667.[1] After Drijfhout died in 1651, the building was continued under the Leiden architect Arent van 's-Gravesande , who had just completed the Marekerk in Leiden. The white organ was built by Gebr. de Rijckere from Kortrijk in 1782.[1] Two stained glass windows from 1664 still exist in the church, and the klokkenstoel contains a bell by Claes Noorden and one by Jan Albert de Grave , 1715.[1] See alsoOther 17th century "round" churches of the Netherlands:
