The picturesque village Niehove stands as a testament to historical ingenuity. Built on a terp, a man-made hill, to outsmart the advancing sea, its layout has remained unchanged for centuries. This former capital of Humsterland is a maze of narrow church paths and red brick houses, arranged in concentric circles around a central, 13th-century Romanesque-Gothic church. Once the only stone structure in Niehove, the church now houses a visitor centre, sharing the village's rich history. This protected site, with its unique street plan and tranquil charm, invites visitors to step back in time.

After your tour, head to the rooftop for a panoramic view of the city and the Mississippi River.
