Fierljeppen Location Salmsterke

Highlight • Structure

Fierljeppen is a Frisian sport in which you jump across a ditch with a long pole. You run to the pole, jump onto it, climb up as the pole swings to the other side, and then jump off the pole to land as far as possible. The goal is to jump as far as possible over the water.

Hervormde Kerk Jaarsveld

Highlight • Religious Site

The Reformed Church in Jaarsveld (municipality of Lopik, Utrecht) is a late-Gothic hall church dating from the 14th and 15th centuries. The nave dates from the 14th century, while the choir and tower were added in the 15th century. The tower is three levels high and crowned with a constricted spire. The interior contains elements from the 17th century, such as the pulpit, baptismal font, and offering box. In 1954–1959, the church underwent a major restoration, during which, among other things, the wooden vaults were replaced and three stained-glass windows were installed.

Polderhuis Jaarsveld

Highlight • Historical Site

The POLDER HOUSE, located behind the Lekdijk, is built on an almost rectangular plan and mainly has two floors under a composite roof. The roof covering consists of braised Tuile du Nord tiles. The windows have round, basket and segmental relief arches with sandstone heads and keystones. The windows on the first floor have red-white painted shutters in a green frame. The asymmetrical facade is divided into three parts. The slightly protruding left building part consists of a stepped gable with two floors under a gable roof with the ridge direction perpendicular to the road. The facade has a stepped gable end with a shield-bearing lion with the coat of arms of the province of Utrecht as a crowning achievement. The facade contains two cross-framed windows on the first floor. The second floor contains three linked windows with skylights, separated by wall dams. Beneath it, the saying 'Vivo leo cespite tutus' is carved in bluestone, with the dates '1675' and '1903' on either side. The gable has a bell-shaped savings field with a cross frame under a round arch. The gable facade has also been enlivened with decorative anchors. The middle building part is a longitudinal facade of two floors high and two window axes wide. On the left there is an extended round-arched porch on the ground floor. This contains the main entrance, consisting of a wooden door with sidelights and a round-arched skylight. To the right of it, the longitudinal facade contains a cross window. Above the portico is a bluestone balustrade with spherical corner crowns. The facade has on-site balcony doors with skylights and a cross frame on the right. The rightmost building part is a longitudinal facade of two window axes, each with a cross frame; only one storey high at the front. The roof surface is broken by two dormer windows under hipped roofs. The left side wall contains a door and a number of cross frames. In the right side wall there are two cross frames placed one above the other. At right angles to the main volume, a single-storey building section under a gable roof has been placed against the rear facade. A stone shed under a gable roof has been placed against this building section on the northwest side.

Halifax Monument Lekdijk Oost

Highlight • Monument

The monument on Lekdijk Oost reminds the residents of Jaarsveld (municipality of Lopik) of the British Halifax bomber (BB 375 EQ-T), which was shot in the night of 20 to 21 June 1943 and crashed in the Lek near Jaarsveld.

The bomber with seven crew members on board belonged to the 408th Goose Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Five of the seven Canadians died in the crash.

The names of the five victims are:

2nd Lt. Clifford Clarence Reichert (pilot), 2nd Lt. John Peter Dockerill (telegraphist/gunner), 2nd Lt. Gordon Mitchell McLean (flight engineer), 2nd Lt. Joseph Earl Monohan (bomb aimer) and 2nd Lt. William Searle (gunner).

Two occupants survived the accident: 2nd Lt. George Iric Pridham (telegrapher/gunner) and 2nd Lt. James Coyle Brown Russell (navigator).
