Reason: The reason I was here on this day was that this chucrch was the wedding location of Naomi and Kevin. It was a honour for me to take some pictures of this wedding ceremony.
Katse Kerk: A beautiful old church building in Kats from 1687 and a national monument, is used for all kinds of purposes. For example, you will find a church hall, which is used for church services, weddings, receptions and music performances, but also for meetings, rehearsals and exhibitions.
The church with vestry is very popular as a wedding location for the municipality of Noord-Beveland and is also used for baptisms and funerals.
The Katse Kerk is a modest white plastered hall church with round-arched windows and a slender gable roof tower with a ridge in the middle of the long facade. The church, built in 1659, was radically changed in 1870 with the addition of the tower. Then the windows were also enlarged and a ceiling was installed.
In 1951 the tower got its current appearance, with the wooden top facade disappearing and the window below it being changed. In the tower hangs a clock from 1757. The consistory got its current size in 1889. In the church there is a pulpit from the 2nd half of the 17th century, the church organ was installed in 1906.
