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 little bridge. It's easy to cross here unless there's a lot of ship traffic.

The church is named after Hobbe van Baerdt, the grietman (mayor) of Haskerland (1615-1650). The triangular ornament (the pediment) above the entrance gate reads "De heer Gritman Hobbe van Baerdt 1644." That same year, on March 18, the foundation stone was laid for the construction of the two-aisled church (nave and side aisle). This new building was intended to replace a church from the 16th century. In 1939, the church was destroyed by fire, and due to the Second World War, reconstruction dragged on until 1947.

The shop is lovingly decorated, and in addition to delicious ice cream, they also offer homemade pralines, macarons, and chocolate. A definite must from us 👍🏼

The ice cream factory not only makes delicious ice cream in a variety of flavors, but also macarons (also with ice cream), chocolate, and pralines. There should be something for everyone.
