Historic city church with tower. The name of the church refers to Martin of Tours, the saint who became famous because he gave half of his cloak to a beggar. The Sint Martinuskerk is originally a longhouse-hall church with sober Gothic windows, and is not the first church to stand on this site. At least three wooden churches preceded the current church made of tuff stone.
Beautiful neo-Gothic church with tower. Replaced an earlier church.
Important neoclassical church building with tower. Built as Mennonite Meeting House. One of the rare Mennonite church buildings with a tower.
On Monday 29 August 2005, the first pile was driven behind the De Poort building for the new building of the Vrije Baptistengemeente Nehemia. De Poort is a former family replacement home De Rietborg and was purchased by the Vrije Baptisten in 1997 as a club building. The church services were held in the auditorium of the Dockinga College. This church hall was put into use on 3 September 2006. Nehemia is a daughter church of the Vrije Baptistengemeente Bethel in Drachten. (54-05/57-07)
