History

Hemrik was long ago also called The Hem(e)rick(s). Old writings already mention, that there was a chapel there in 1315. On the foundations of a medieval church, the present church was built in 1739. This plastered three-sided hall church probably made use of the wall work of the old one dedicated to St. Paul. St. Andrew consecrated church. Inside the church is a 17th century pulpit pit. The building is a national monument. In 2001/2002, the church was restored. Since that time, the church has been used for various cultural activities, as a wedding venue, farewell services and now for Holy Nights. The foundation has an active club of volunteers committed to preserving the church building. A tower apparently could no longer be removed in the eighteenth century, but there was already a belfry with two bells. In 1494, the first bell was cast in Hemrik by the traveling bell-founder Gerhard de Wou. The clock has a diameter of 100 centimeters and a weight of 650 kilograms. A second bell was added in 1727. The belfry stood on the street side of the church. In 1921 it was decided that the belfry should be replaced and moved to the back of the church, but with one bell and the first. The organ is part of an organ from Woudsend, built by Bakker and Timmenga in 1940. This organ must be "played" by two people: the organist and the "pûstertraper" for the bellows. In 2001/2002, the church was restored. Since that time, the church has been used for various cultural activities, as a wedding venue, farewell services and now for Holy Nights. The foundation has an active club of volunteers committed to preserving the church building. Next to the cemetery is the Van der Sluis family cemetery with the burial vault commissioned by Jan Alles van der Sluis in 1860.
