Grote Kerk

This church, built in 1857, has one of the most beautiful church interiors in Friesland. This 17th-century interior comes from the former cruciform church of 1614 and includes a pulpit from 1648 with Aylva-Walta coats of arms, pews with carved end partitions and ball crownings, a memorial plaque from 1580 and beautiful copper work. The church also contains a single-manual organ from 1858 with organ pipes from the old Bader organ. In 2002, the roof was restored with the support of the village, government and funds.

The Baptist community of Southwest Friesland drove the first pile for a new church building last week. The community, which is affiliated with the Union of Baptist Churches, has grown from around 70 to 120 baptized members in the past ten years. In addition, the community has around fifty children and young people and an equal number of people who are registered as friends of the community. The new church will have a hall with around 250 seats. The community hopes to be able to move into the new building this year.

In this church the old copper chandeliers were hung that had also hung in the church that had stood there since 1768. This church also had stained glass windows that unfortunately have not been preserved. Tower of the Herv. Church. 17th century tower finished by a saddle roof. Bell tower with the chiming of two bells by J. Noteman, 1649, diam. resp. 81 cm. and 71 cm. Mechanical tower clock, first quarter 20th century. Part of tower probably 13th century.
