The Jacobskerk of Roderwolde was built in 1831 as a replacement for a church that stood on the Pastorielaan at the location of the still existing cemetery. The church was first mentioned in 1139. Originally, the core of the development of Roderwolde was in this neighborhood, in line with the development of Sandebuur. Over time, due to subsidence of the ground and problems with the groundwater level, the development had to be moved to the south. * (Source: Wikipedia )
