Take a look
The tower is much older than the church building: two centuries older, in fact. From a distance the tower seems plain, but about two-thirds up the kloostermoppen form a sawtooth band. Below it are narrow slit windows, and at the top you’ll spot round-arched blind niches. Behind the tower, a flowing row of pointed-arch windows leads you through the nave towards the 15th-century choir.
Inside, beneath a blue wooden barrel vault, the furnishings are painted in soft greys with white and arranged in a traditional Protestant layout. The pulpit and baptism rail in Rococo forms are especially beautiful, likely made in 1775 by the local master: Yge Rintjes. Opposite stand two gentlemen’s pews with back crests showing family coats of arms from the same period. The organ from 1814 by Hillebrand was expanded in 1831 by Van Gruisen.
