From Wikipedia

Oldehove is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Westerkwartier, about 16 km northwest of the city of Groningen. The town has a notable skyline with two windmills and two of its three churches visible from almost every angle, the third church (De Zaaier) being obscured from vision by houses and trees because it doesn't have the traditional tower associated with most churches in similar villages.
