s-Heer Hendrikskinderen is a village in the municipality of Goes, about 2 km to the west of the city of Goes in the Dutch province of Zeeland.
In 1198, when Dirk VII, Count of Holland made a donation to Middelburg Abbey, the lords of Schengen, brothers Arnold and Henry, were attested as Arnoldus et Henricus de Scinge.[3] They both seem to have founded a church named after themselves: Ecclesia Arnoldi and Ecclesiam Henrici, now the villages of 's-Heer Arendskerke and 's-Heer Hendrikskinderen.
This village was first mentioned in 1267 as Ecclesiam Henrici, meaning "(private) church of Lord Henric", and is probably a reference to Henricus de Scinge.[4] 's-Heer Hendrikskinderen is a circular village around a church which developed in the Late Middle Ages.[5]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 15th century. The tower is probably incomplete. The current church was built in 1805.[5] Castle Heer Hendriksburg used to be located near the village; in the 18th century, it was rebuilt as an inn, and was demolished in 1803.
's-Heer Hendrikskinderen was home to 137 people in 1840. It was a separate municipality until 1857, when it was merged into 's-Heer Arendskerke. In 1970, it became part of the municipality of Goes.[6]
