De kerk staat samen met het raadhuis uit 1650 op een kleine terp in het midden van het langgerekte lintdorp Jisp.
Het lieflijke kerkje is schitterend gelegen in het groen tussen de Beemster en de Wijde Wormer.
De kerk stamt uit 1822 en is destijds in de plaats gekomen van een veel grotere, laat middeleeuwse voorganger.
Het kerkje is een rijksmonument (nr. 22943)

This church was built in 1822 and is a Rijksmonument (national heritage site). It is the third church on this site.
The first was built in 1434 ( or 1438?). A fire destructed this church in 1542 and a gothic church was built, but the church was demolished in 1820 due to its poor condition after which this third church was built in 1822.
What a beautiful day it was February 27, in the province of North Holland! This is a late afternoon picture a part of the historical Dutch Designed dike of polder Beemster. Spijkerboor, 2021.

The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster polder was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

The Beemster Polder was created in 1612. Before that time, it was a lake. It is located in the province of North Holland, north of Amsterdam. The draining of this lake was the first large project and therefore one of the first polders. This polder was designed in a geometric pattern, according to the principles of that time, the Renaissance. Nowadays it is a well-ordered agricultural landscape of fields, roads, canals, ditches, dykes and villages.
In 1999 the Beemster polder was added to the Unesco world heritage list.

The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. It has preserved intact its well-ordered landscape of fields, roads, canals, dykes and settlements, laid out in accordance with classical and Renaissance planning principles. A grid of canals parallels the grid of roads in the Beemster. The grids are offset: the larger feeder canals are offset by approximately one kilometer from the larger roads.
Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

Beemster polder dike with trees. Already a long time I wanted to capture the polder dike with its trees in a way like this. All at a sudden I had the opportunity. The shadow of the clouds on the yellow field was disappearing in the direction of the dike. I was just in time to create a picture with a yellow field in the sunlight and a dike with trees in the dark. The dark clouds finished the capture. Dike polder Beemster nearby village Schermerhorn, 2017.

Living below sealevel: How do they do that? First build a Dike around the lake and a Ringvaart around the dike. Finally pump the lake empty and build the new land.
De Beemster Polder dateert uit het begin van de 17e eeuw. De polder heeft zijn goed geordende landschap van akkers, wegen, kanalen, dijken en nederzettingen – aangelegd volgens de principes van de klassieke en Renaissance-planning – behouden. De Beemster laat heel goed zien hoe Nederlanders grote delen van het land hebben drooggelegd. Deze droogmakerij is opgezet omdat het water de steden bedreigde en er behoefte was aan meer landbouwgrond. Om het meer werd een stevige dijk van 42 kilometer gelegd en daaromheen groef men een ringvaart. Met 43 windmolens werd het meer vervolgens leeggepompt. Op 19 mei 1612 was de polder droog.
I live at the border of the Noord-Hollandsch canal. Today the light and the mist were beautiful half an hour before sunrise. Purmerend, 2016.
The canal was opened in the year 1824. Imagine passing by all the sailing ships in those times, pulled by horses at the other side..
Thank you very much for your visits, faves and kind comments.
Update 2017: All these trees are gone due to the reconstruction of the road. New trees are planted now.
History:
In de 17e eeuw nam de bevaarbaarheid van de Zuiderzee voor de zeescheepvaart naar Amsterdam af. Met name de ondiepte bij Pampus die de doorgang naar het IJ voor grote schepen blokkeerde zorgde voor veel oponthoud. Toen het overladen van goederen naar kleinere schepen te tijdrovend en te duur werd is men gebruik gaan maken van scheepskamelen. Daarbij kampte Amsterdam ook met het dichtslibben van de haven.
Het graven van een rechtstreekse verbinding naar de Noordzee durfde men echter nog niet aan. Een dergelijk plan zou gepaard gaan met de afdamming van het IJ bij de Zuiderzee, maar men was technisch nog niet in staat een groot sluizencomplex te bouwen.
De Nederlandse economie was in slechte staat na de val van Napoleon. Het gebrek aan goede water- en wegverbindingen was een belangrijke oorzaak. Koning Willem I wilde daar snel verbetering in brengen. Tijdens zijn bewindsperiode, van 1814 tot 1840, werden veel verkeersverbindingen aangelegd, waarvan het Noordhollandsch Kanaal het belangrijkst is.
In 1818 gaf de koning waterbouwkundige Jan Blanken Janz opdracht een plan uit te werken. Zijn voorstel was een kanaal dat alleen geschikt zou zijn voor binnenvaartschepen. Amsterdam was hier fel op tegen, zeeschepen zouden in dat geval Den Helder als eindbestemming kunnen nemen waardoor de stad belangrijke inkomsten zou mislopen. In 1819 werden de koning en de hoofdstad het eens over een breder en dieper kanaal geschikt voor zeeschepen. De kosten werden toen begroot op 4 miljoen gulden, waarvan de stad Amsterdam een kwart zou betalen.
Bij Koninklijk Besluit van 15 april 1819 werd de aanleg van het Noordhollandsch Kanaal een feit. Jan Blanken kreeg de leiding over het project. In feite ontstond dit kanaal door het met elkaar verbinden van een aantal boezemwateren. Zo maakt het kanaal onder andere deel uit van de ringvaarten van de Beemster en de Schermer. Een gedeelte van het kanaal volgt, ten noorden van Alkmaar, het oude riviertje de Rekere. De bestaande wateren moesten wel verbreed en uitgediept worden.
Het kanaal kwam gereed op 4 december 1824 en op 15 december passeerde het eerste grote schip, dat door acht paarden werd voortgetrokken. Op eigen zeilkracht de reis maken was niet mogelijk; daar was het kanaal te smal en te bochtig voor. De hele trip duurde ongeveer twee dagen, maar toch betekende het Noordhollandsch Kanaal een aanzienlijke bekorting van de vaartijd voor schepen tussen Amsterdam en Den Helder. In 1828 maakten circa 700 schepen gebruik van het kanaal en in 1841 lag dit aantal op 1.700.

After a day of raining yesterday the weather changed in the afternoon. The sun started to shine and the day ended with a beautiful sunset. Recently I discovered this spot and tried it out. The reflections in the water were amazing. Beemster polder, 2018.

Searching for tulip fields I came across this dreamy one:-)
I also took pictures with my camera, but I had no wide angle with me:-( luckily I had my phone;-)
