This church was built around 1270 and dedicated to Saint Catherine. The current tower probably dates from that time, while the nave dates from the 14th century. According to tradition, the aisles were destroyed during the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648). In 1735 the church was renovated and took on its current form, without a consistory chamber, which was added later after the Second World War.

In 2011, the church was thoroughly renovated by the Protestant municipality of Zoutelande. The damaged walls were addressed and repointed, inside and out. The benches were also replaced by chairs. The church is currently used for various purposes.

Opening hours: every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, from June 3 to September 12.

The (originally Catholic) church was built around 1270 and dedicated to St. Catherine. The current church tower probably dates from around 1270. The nave was built in the 14th century. According to tradition, the two side aisles were demolished in the Eighty Years' War, 1568-1648. A comprehensive restoration took place in 1735 and the church was given its current form, without a consistory room. The consistory room was added after the Second World War.

The church was thoroughly restored and refurbished in 2011 on behalf of the Zoutelande Protestant community. The walls, which were badly damaged by salt deposits, were treated and repointed both from the outside and from the inside. When furnishing the benches were replaced by chairs. The church is used for various purposes today.

Opening times: every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 11am to 3pm, from June 3rd to September 12th.

About this location

The Catherine Church of Zoutelande was founded around the year 1270 from the then neighboring village of Werendijke. The current church tower probably dates from that time. The current church building was built in the 14th century, but was then almost twice as long and ended in a three-part choir. At the height of the current consistory there was a transept so that the whole was a so-called 'cross church'. The transepts were probably demolished during the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648), when the village and the church had fallen into considerable disrepair.

During the Second World War (1940-1945), the church was so badly hit by shelling on November 2, 1944 that the church could no longer be used for worship services. The roof of the church was then temporarily closed with plates to prevent further damage. A temporary church was temporarily put into use on the Duinweg. Even though the church roof had been temporarily closed, it turned out that the damage had increased after the inundation of Walcheren between 1944 and 1946. During the restoration carried out, the new consistory was built more in the style of the church, the ceiling of the church was removed so that the barrel vault is visible again and the space under the tower was added to the church. The renovated Catharina Church was put back into use on January 28, 1950.

Church service is every Sunday at 9:30 am.
