Zandvoort Streets

Old Zandvoort Postcards

The Kerkplein is so called because of its proximity to the village
The Kerkplein is so called because of its proximity to the village church. It is the place where over the centuries, many major and minor events have played out in Zandvoort. The present church: the Reformed Church is actually not so old. was built in 1848-1849 on the site of the earlier and taller, but not wider medieval Catholic Church.
Dr Gerkes house in the Kerkplein
Dr Gerkes house in the Kerkplein at the bottom of Kerk Straat – Woning van den Badarts. Postmark dated 4th May 1901 on the back.
The Kerkstraat
The Kerkstraat stretches from the Kerkplein to the Thorbeckestraat and Badhuisplein. It may well be the oldest street in Zandvoort, being mentioned in a 1590 deed of sale document. This view is looking down the street towards Kerkplein.

Dr. Joh. C. Mezgerstraat.
