Reformed Church. Still largely Romanesque tuff stone church building with semicircular choir closure. Tower built into new western bay from 1808. Internal pulpit with twisted columns from 1715 with associated rear bulkhead and hood, candle arm, baptismal fence with simple baptismal arch, baptismal font in holder, three benches of three rows with corner balls. Under the floor old tombstones, in the churchyard three 17th century, one 18th century and two early 19th century. Organ made in 1876 by W. Hardorff. Bell tower with the sound of three bells, one by Herman(nus?), 1400, diam. 95 cm., one by G. van Wou and J. ter Steghe, 1530, diam. 120 cm., this bell is cracked, and one modern bell. Mechanical tower clock, first quarter 20th century.

The Maria church of Foudgum is on the remains of a mound. Only a few parts of the tower remain of the original medieval Romanesque church. The current church building dates from 1808. The church is known for its predecessor Francois Haverschmidt (pseudonym Piet Paaltjens).

The 19th century tower is the youngest part, the choir is early 16th century. But then the nave: tuff stone and completely Romanesque, clearly recognizable by the arched frieze decoration and the small round arched windows on the north side. For more light, larger windows have been installed in the south wall. Inside is a remarkable church council bench, perhaps a former communion bench.
