Meslânzer Church

In the heart of Midsland on Terschelling, stands the Meslânzer church, a beautiful Dutch Reformed church dating back to 1881. This single-nave National Heritage site is not only a religious and historical centre, but also a photogenic gem, especially when the sun illuminates the characteristic façade.

What to expect at the Meslânzer Church?
