Reformed Church, built in 1909 to replace a hall church of the Separatists from 1845 that had become too small. The contractor/architect during the construction was C. Linzel. Linzel gave the church a cross-shaped floor plan and an Eclectic appearance. In 1912 a new parsonage was built next to the church; this was demolished in the eighties. In 1952 the church was expanded at the rear with an extension that housed meeting rooms. In 1980 the church was restored, during which the pews, the pulpit and the floors were replaced, among other things. The organ was built in 1886 by organ builder J. Doornbos for the Ebbingekerk in Groningen. In 1919 this organ with front was transferred to the church in Stadskanaal. According to tradition, the upper part of the front would come from the former Lohman organ (1820) of the Reformed Church in Noordlaren. The organ itself is not protected by the government.
