The Zeemanskerk in Oudeschild was built in 1650. The church was primarily for sailors who attended Sunday services. Among them the well-known Dutch naval hero Michiel de Ruyter with his family. As the influx increased, the church was enlarged in 1740. The interior tells the story of the maritime past. The church can be visited, on request you can get a guided tour. You can also take a moment for rest and meditation.

The Zeemanskerk or "Reformed Church" is a 17th-century church building at Trompstraat 60 in Oudeschild on Texel. The church can be recognized by its white plastered walls and green roof ridge.

The church was built between 1648 and 1650. The committed councilors financed the construction with an amount of 3,000 guilders. The church's pulpit dates from the time the church was built. In front of the pulpit lies the gravestone of the first pastor: Antonius Damburgh. The church owes its name to the many sailors who came to the church. They wait for a favorable wind to set the sails. Visits from sailors increased, especially in the 18th century. When the church became too small, it was expanded in 1740 with an extension on the north side.

On November 23, 1943, a Lancaster bomber crashed near the church. All seven crew members were killed.

The building has been registered as a national monument in the register of monuments since 1976.

The church has been restored several times, including in the 1960s, 1970–1971 and 2001. Nowadays the church is also used for concerts.
