Terkaple Church is a Protestant church building in Terkaple, in the Dutch province of Friesland. The foundation stone was laid on April 1, 1854, by Anne Jacobs Hilverda. The church was built on the foundations of a Romanesque chapel belonging to the Van Oenema family. Carved tombstones of the noble Van Oenema and Van Roorda families are located in the church floor: one by P. Dircks from 1570 and one by Jacob Lous from 1610. These tombstones, along with the mechanical tower clock from around 1600 and the churchyard, are national monuments. The organ, built in 1924 by the firm of M. Spiering, is located above the pulpit on the east side of the church.

Nice electric ferry. Self-service... press two buttons before it works. It took a while before we figured it out and that it actually worked.

In a duck march along the Sneekermeer...🦆🦆🦆 Unfortunately the path is very narrow so you can't walk next to each other. Lots of fast cyclists on the road... Pedestrians have a hard time avoiding them because there are lots of stinging nettles on the side of the path. 😬
