History
The village was first mentioned in 1251 as Clawarskerke, and means "(private) church of Clawaert (person)".[3] Kleverskerke used to be a free heerlijkheid (=no fief) and a castle was located near the village.[4] Kleverskerke became an independent parish in 1251. The church dates from 1862.[5]
