The Dutch Reformed church "De Kemphaan" is a little wooden church which was rebuilt by the villagers in 2002.[4] The old church from the 16th century had become derelict and beyond repair, and a village house was desired by the inhabitants of De Woude. The church is in use for meetings, cultural activities and can be rented for weddings and parties.[3]
