't Woudt (ZH): reformed church
The
church of the tiny village
of 't Woudt is a one-aisled building
with a built-in tower and no choir. The tower, or rather most of it, is
the oldest part of the church and probably dates from the early 14th
century. It is supported at the front by peculiar short but deep
buttresses. Early 16th century the tower was heightened and the
original sounding holes were closed. Later, a portal was added to the
front. At the same time the Gothic nave was built. Like the upper part
of the tower, the corners of the buttresses of the nave are decorated
with small blocks of white natural stone.
