Berlikum, NL
In the sixties, the current church was built to a design by architect G. Steen from 1960. The new construction took place on the grounds of the old school. The work was carried out by construction company H. Westra from Franeker. The building was finally completed in 1966 under the architecture of the architectural firm Steen en Tuinhof. An illuminated cross was placed on the tower. On 31 January 1969, the renovated organ was put into use. In 1969-70, a new rectory was also built. In 1972, the building of the nursery school next to the church and the associated grounds were purchased. A parking lot was constructed on the grounds, while the building itself was rented to a music association. This situation still exists today. In 1986, major maintenance was carried out on both the church and the rectory. The remarkable elevator in the building, which connects the meeting rooms and canteen downstairs with the church hall upstairs, was installed at the end of the eighties.

Reformed Church and Tower, situated on a churchyard. The building, founded as a parish church, developed in the 13th century under the Canons Regular into a three-aisled church with a vaulted stone choir with clear features of the Romanesque-Gothic style. The tower of tuff stone was preserved from the oldest church, later raised in brick, as well as part of the west walls. The side aisles were removed after the Reformation, but were mainly rebuilt for static reasons during the restoration around 1958. The church has a carved pulpit with backsplash and sounding board, and parts of ten family pews processed into two gentlemen's pews. Fragments of vault painting. Bell tower with bell by J. Balthasar, 1662, diam. 119.5 cm. Mechanical wrought iron tower clock.
