Characteristic Reformed church building. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Reformed Church, the memorial book Ik ferkundig je jim Kristus was published . This book describes how the church was founded in 1851 as the Christian Separated Congregation of Westergeest. In 1892, the church became part of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands. The name then changed to Reformed Church of Westergeest. Later, the name changed to Reformed Church of Zwagerveen and Reformed Church of Kollumerzwaag. The names Westergeest, Zwagerveen and Kollumerzwaag for one and the same place were somewhat confusing. Until 1929, this part of Kollumerzwaag belonged to Westergeest. In 1929, it became an independent village with the name Zwagerveen. And so the church was no longer called Reformed Church of Westergeest, but Reformed Church of Zwagerveen. In 1972, the villages of Kollumerzwaag, Zandbulten and Zwagerveen merged under the name Kollumerzwaag. Since 1972, the church has also been called the Reformed Church of Kollumerzwaag. The first church was built in 1851 on the same spot as it is now. In 1894, this church proved to be too small and the church building from 1851 was demolished and replaced by a larger one. In 1925, this church building was also too small. It was replaced by the current church building. The architect was Ane Nauta (1882-1946). In 2008, the church building underwent a major renovation. The pews were replaced by chairs. The wooden floor was removed and replaced by tiles. The liturgical centre was also renovated. Only the lower part of the old pulpit was preserved. A new communion table, a new kneeling bench, a new lectern and a new baptismal font were added. The church was put back into use on 7 September 2008.
