Historic village church with saddle roof tower. In the course of 2005 the interior of the Protestant Agnes church was restored. When removing the wooden floor some unknown gravestones came to light. Earlier, in 1993, the exterior of the church was restored. (56-06)
Built as a Reformed Church in an extension of the former village of Huizum. Sober, but architecturally interesting, modern church without a tower. In 2016, attention was paid to the fortieth anniversary of this church.
The Dorpskerk Huizum (12th cent.) is the oldest monument of the city of Leeuwarden, has a very valuable interior and is now used for concerts, exhibitions, lectures etc. The great building with old graveyard, bier house etc, was never visited so often as nowadays. Location: Huizum Dorp 67, a 15 minutes walk from the Central Station through a nice 'green blew' area along the beautiful river Potmarge. The old village of Huizum is now surrounded by the town but is still a lovely oasis in the city. See www.dorpskerkhuizum.nl.
In the south of the capital of Friesland is a real village church: the John the Baptist Church of Huizum. The church has been owned by the Alde Fryske Tsjerken Foundation since 2014. The local commission organizes a range of activities. Due to its special appearance and size (180 seats), the church is also a popular location for commemorations (funerals) and for wedding ceremonies.
