The Buurtjeskerk or Het Kerkje, is a building in the hamlet of Kerkbuurt, in the North Holland village of Andijk. The building is the former church building of the Reformed Church of Kerkbuurt.

The entrance to the building is located in the front facade on the west side. In the middle of the gable, directly above the entrance door, there is a window with wall anchors on either side of it at the bottom that indicate the year of foundation 1667. On the roof on the west side there is a green colored roof turret with clockwork and crowned with a spire. This tower dates from 1761. Due to noise pollution for the neighborhood, the clock and clock have been decommissioned. There are six arched windows in the elongated side wall on the south side and a round window and an entrance door on the east side. According to Van den Berg, this south facade was still authentic in 1955. In 1968 the church was closed for worship. After a renovation in 2003, the building was transformed into restaurant 'Het Kerkje'. It also functions as a wedding location.

Non-religiousness has always existed since the construction of the Buurtjeskerk in 1667.

The late Mr Klaas van Dok, who was secretary-churchwarden of the Reformed Church of Andijk between March 16, 1949 and January 1, 1962 and who subsequently became archivist of the old reformed church on the Buurtje, wrote in September 1953 in his manuscript 'Fragments uit the history of the Buurtjes Kerk in Andijk', “that many think it is more of a thing of the present.”

But it is sad to note that his comment from the mid-1950s has lost none of its relevance now in 2005 – more than half a century later; Secularization and church abandonment have even increased since then.
