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]

The mechanical clockwork in the tower was made by the Gebr. van Bergen from Midwolda, Groningen in 1924.[1] It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 35666 and is rated with a very high historical value.[1]
