Exhibition 600 Years of Zuiderkerk

Saturday 19 October 2024

This year marks six hundred years since the construction of the Zuiderkerk in Enkhuizen began.

For this reason, various activities have been organised. One of these is a special exhibition in the Zuiderkerk with documents, prints, photos, objects and paintings from that long history.

Quite a few prominent painters have immortalized the Zuiderkerk. A number of paintings by Cornelis Springer (1817 –1891), Willem B. Tholen (1860 –1931), Willem Koekkoek (1839 – 1895), Piet Egmond (1862-1908) have been made available by private individuals for this exhibition. In addition, one of the latest acquisitions of the Zuiderzee Museum can be seen: the interior of the Zuiderkerk by Anthonie Waldorp (1802 – 1866). The original paintings can be seen during Open Monument Day: September 14 from 11 am to 4 pm and September 15 from 12 pm to 4 pm. Afterwards, full-size reproductions will be shown.

After the Monument Weekend, the exhibition can be seen until November 26 on Saturdays from 12 noon to 4 pm.

This exhibition was made possible in part by the Enkhuizen Business Fund.
