Leegkerk (Dutch: [ˌlexˈkɛr(ə)k]) is a small village in the municipality of Groningen in the Dutch province of Groningen with 65 inhabitants. It is located east of the city of Groningen, and north of the village of Hoogkerk.
The church of Leegkerk, built in the first half of the 13th century, is located here.[3] Unconventionally, the church and surrounding buildings, a former parsonage and sacristy school, are located outside of the village's main core, which is located more eastern and currently grown against the Groningen residential area of Gravenburg.
