Nes Church Tower

The bell tower built from many small yellow stones stands on a small elevation. It was built in 1664 by order of Valerius (Watse) Frans van Cammingha and Rixt van Donia, then the Lord and Lady of Ameland.

Nes Historic Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic center of Nes is well worth seeing because of the old buildings (captain's houses) from the 17th to 18th centuries. In some cases whale bones can still be found in the front gardens.

St. Clemens Church, Nes

Highlight • Religious Site

The Neo-Gothic church from 1878 was designed by the architect Pierre Cuypers. Cuypers had built a church in Halden in Norway in 1877. Norwegian influences are present in the design of the church in Nes, although the design is also largely based on Cuypers' church in Ruurlo from 1868. The single-aisled church with a ridge turret has a high roof with an overhanging eaves. The church largely consists of wooden constructions that were made in Cuypers' studio in Amsterdam and assembled in Nes. The church was expanded around 1958 with two low transepts designed by Herman van Wissen. The high altar is from 1885 and the stained glass windows from 1897. The church is a national monument. The church is located on Kardinaal De Jongweg, named after Johannes de Jong (1885-1955), who was born in Nes.

A quiet part to go from Buren to Nes. (Other way is also possible of course) ideal for not going along the busy roads or dunes.

November 4, 2024,Tag 5 Ameland: Buren & Nes
Last day on Ameland 🌊 – no more big tours, but a relaxed stroll through Nes 🏘️. Of course we passed the town entrance sign “Tot ziens op Ameland” once again 👋 before heading back to Buren. Then we took the last ferry 🚢 back to the mainland. Until next time!

A year without Ameland? Not a real year! 🌊🏖️ The first day started off relaxed: a traditional visit to the town entrance sign 📍, a first look at the sea 🌅 and a detour to Nes and Buren 🏘️. Perfect start to autumn! 🍂
