Kerk Overschild
Dutch church buildings constructed between 1824 and 1875 with financial support from the government were known as ‘waterstaatskerken’.

Waterstaat churches because the design and construction of these churches was subject to the approval and control of engineers from the Ministry of Water Affairs.
Overschild's reformed Waterstaatskerk was inaugurated in 1880. Until then, services were held in the public primary school. Earlier (until 1864), residents had to rely on the surrounding villages for church attendance. The Village Church is a hall church characterised by an austere kind of neoclassicism. The interior of the church is still completely original.
