About Waterlandkerkje
Waterlandkerkje is a village. Location: Sluis Municipality, Zeeland. Population: 255. Elevation: 2 m.
Waterlandkerkje is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is located in the municipality of Sluis. The village was first mentioned in 1740 as "de Kerk op Waterland, en doorgaans Nieuw of Klein Kerkje geheeten", and means "little church of Waterland". Waterland was a region which was flooded in 1375. The church was established around 1670 by Protestants who went to church in Waterland-Oudeman in the Spanish Netherlands (nowadays: Belgium), but who were removed by force by the Catholics.
