You're standing in Niekerk, a village in the Westerkwartier area of Groningen. It has grown into its neighbour Oldekerk, and together they form a twin village. Notice those names. Oldekerk means old church, Niekerk means new church. Yet today Niekerk has the oldest church, because the one in Oldekerk was pulled down long ago.

Read and hear the whole story in the Outdoor Pitstop app: check in at this place and it is yours (with Pro; new users are Pro for the first 4 weeks).
