Kerktoren Goedereede

In the fifteenth century, Goedereede was a prosperous place with much shipping and fishing. The town grew and a new church was built. Despite the fact that the spire was never completed, the church had the allure of a cathedral. As a result of declining prosperity, the church tower slowly lost its function. In the mid-seventeenth century, the associated church disappeared and the tower was repurposed as a fire tower under the direction of master builder Pieter Noorwits. The tower of Goedereede now has a museum function where the history of Goedereede and the church tower take center stage. You can enjoy a beautiful view after taking 217 steps up 40 meters.
