The Protestant Maartenskerk (St. Maarten's Church) is located in the heart of Oosterend. It dates back to the eleventh century, making it the oldest church on the island. It can be visited from May to October. The church is the center of a village with many old houses. It's worth parking your bike for a while, strolling through Oosterend, and taking in the historic buildings.

In a small side room, you can see the hand signs/family symbols of Texel families on the wooden walls. In the past, these were used instead of signatures... back when being able to read and write wasn't standard!
