the Hippolytus church

For a number of reasons Wieringen has not a lot of monumental buildings. Fire, storm and unbridled demolition have left only a few old buildings. Apart from the Wieringer farms only the churches in Oosterland, Hippolytushoef and Westerland can be considered real monuments. This page, and the following are dedicated to the main church in Hippolytushoef, located at the central Kerkplein ("Church square"): the Hippolytus church.
