Pieter Stuyvesantkerk

A church for two


These are the highlights

  • The little church dates from 1531 and has been beautifully renovated and converted into a holiday home surrounded by nature.

  • Pieter Stuyvesant was the founder of what is now New York. His father was a minister at this little church.

  • The space has been left as it should be: without any unnecessary partitions.


In the heart of picturesque Peperga, with its centuries-old streets, you'll find the Pieter Stuyvesant Church: an oasis of peace and contemplation, where every stone bears witness to stories from times gone by. How special is it that you can now stay in this gem?

Pieter Stuyvesant was the founder of present-day New York. His father was a minister in this church. Dating back to 1531, the church has been beautifully renovated and furnished as a holiday home surrounded by nature.

The space has been left as it should be: without unnecessary partitions. The kitchen, bathroom, and toilet are separate, and you'll also find a cozy sitting area, dining area, and a double four-poster bed.

A full breakfast is optional and will be delivered in the morning at a time of your choosing.

Surroundings

Peperga is steeped in history, and that alone makes a stay in this church more than worthwhile. Your holiday home is close to Weerribben-Wieden National Park, the famous Giethoorn, and beautiful Frisian cities such as Heerenveen and Drachten.
