Hof van Moerkerken Next to the centre of the village lies the Hof van Moerkerken, a medieval
buitenplaats on which an 18th-century mansion is located. The Hof van Moerkerken was where the
Lord of the Manor lived. The Dutch writer
Frederik van Eeden lived on the Hof van Moerkerken in the 19th century. His famous novel
Van de koele meren des doods was written there, and it was the filming location for the 1982 Dutch
movie based on the novel. The Hof is privately owned and therefore not accessible to the public; its garden, however, is open to the public on
Open Monument Day.
Laurentius Church The Laurentius Church is a
gothic church built in 1445, and is located in the middle of the village. The gothic architectural style is unusual for the Hoeksche Waard.
Windmills There are two windmills in the village area: the
grist mill De Goede Hoop (somewhat hidden within the village), and the
post mill Oostmolen outside the core village of Mijnsheerenland. The latter is a
drainage mill, and was used until 1948 for draining water from the Moerkerken
polder.
Lake Binnenmaas Lake Binnenmaas is a lake to the south of Mijnsheerenland, providing a small beach and a yachting club located near the village. ==Notable people==
