Idyllically situated church surrounded by a churchyard with an access driveway flanked by a double row of lime trees.

History:

The oldest written document found about Klemskerke dates back to 1003, where the place is mentioned as "Clemeskirca": church of Cleme. The protected church is located on the eastern edge of this centuries-old polder village, in the middle of a walled churchyard bordered by hedges and pollard willows. It is a three-aisled hall church crowned by an octagonal tower.

The current Sint-Clemenskerk dates back to a 13th-14th century church building, of which the side choirs and the lower sections of the tower (14th century) have been preserved. As a result of the devastating passage of the iconoclasts during the last quarter of the 16th and the first quarter of the 17th century, the western part of the nave was demolished. As a result, the original crossing tower, the facade tower of the church, was destroyed.

The church had already been almost completely restored in the middle of the 17th century. The spire was then damaged by lightning three times. It was restored each time, the last time in 1770, because it was an important beacon for fishermen at sea.
