The Petruskerk is a church of the Protestant Church of the Netherlands in 's-Heer Arendskerke in the province of Zeeland, the tower of which is owned by the municipality of Goes. The church building and the tower are each a national monument.
A church was probably founded on the site of the current church in the twelfth century by "Lord Arend", also known as "Arend met den belly". This was the ancestor of noble families in this part of Zeeland. The current church dates from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The tower and choir were then built separately and connected by the nave, the current church, which is said to date from around 1450. The nave was dedicated to Saint Peter, which is reflected in the name Petruskerk. At the end of the sixteenth century, during the iconoclasm, altars and statues were removed from the church and the church was converted into a Protestant church. The choir dedicated to John was demolished in 1859. A consistory room was built on site. In 1906 the church was restored by Jan Verheul and returned as much as possible to its sixteenth-century state. Restorations followed in 1955-1956 and 2002-2003.
