The Mennonite meeting house on Dorpsstraat in the North Holland village of Twisk was built in 1867 under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Works. The building is therefore a so-called Waterstaat church. The church is located within the extension of the protected village view of Twisk. (Wikipedia)

A beautiful little town with a great atmosphere located on the Ijsselmeer. A trip here is worthwhile. The small castle is beautiful to look at and if you like, you can visit it or take a ride on the historic museum train that connects Hoorn with Medemblik.
