Bonifaciuskerk

The Bonifacius Church of Medemblik is a Dutch church from 1404. A pastor of the church, the oldest mention of which dates back to 1118, had gone up in flames shortly before. The church ruins were used in the construction of the new church. The church was originally dedicated to Saint Boniface, later also to Saint Martin. In 1572, after the Reformation, the name Bonifacius was used for this Protestant church and Saint Martin became the main patron of the Roman Catholic parish in Medemblik. Despite being hit by two fires, the church was largely preserved. Nowadays the church is used by the Protestant community of Medemblik (PKN). The north aisle was used as a theatre under the name BON theatre. Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck married in this church in 1590.

2. De Herder

Show sight on map

De Herder is an octagonal, thatched windmill and is located in Medemblik. It is an upper porter and has two pairs of grinding stones. Until 1947 there was an earlier mill on the same spot, when it was demolished because it had long since ceased to work and was no longer needed. It was therefore no longer possible to use it during the reconstruction. Nevertheless, the mill was built with various old parts: The wooden octagon was built in 1695 in Wormer and had served as an oil mill in Willeskop from 1904. In 1986 this mill hull was brought to Medemblik when people had started to think seriously about rebuilding, the large wooden beams could still be overhauled and used at that time.
