The former Protestant church of Eastermar was a church that stood in It Heechsân, Eastermar, Netherlands. It was demolished in 1868. Today only the medieval tower from the 13th century remains.[1] The church is located far out of the center of the village on the Torenlaan 11[2] and is surrounded by a graveyard. Next to the tower stands a grave diggers building.[3]
