The Bessiekerk has stood in Lutjebroek since 1862. Originally built as a Dutch Reformed Church, it is now a cultural centre. People come here for exhibitions, courses, workshops and meetings. An old building, but still very much alive and kicking.
Who is this a good site for?
For those who love small cultural venues with a story to tell. For creators, course participants, clubs and visitors to exhibitions. Also suitable for anyone looking for a special venue for a gathering, a farewell or a wedding.
When will you visit here?
Whether during an exhibition, workshop or gathering. The building really comes into its own on a quiet afternoon. That’s when you can see how the old church is now simply being used again.
What to expect.
You step into a small church with high windows, wood, stone and a sense of tranquillity amidst the activities. Sometimes there are artworks hanging on the walls. Sometimes chairs are set out for a lecture or a course. The church was saved from demolition in 1974 by local residents and volunteers. You can still feel that spirit today: this is a place where people get things done.

You can expect a short visit for an exhibition, or a longer stay for a course or meeting. Bessie is situated in Lutjebroek, right in the centre of the village. Parking is available in the surrounding area.
Our tip for your visit
Check in advance to see if there’s an exhibition on. That way, you can see the church and, at the same time, work by local artists.
