Jacobus Church
It is thought that in the 12th century a stone church or chapel already stood on the site of the current, 14th-century cruciform church. It is an imposing building with characteristic features of the transition from Romanesque architecture to Gothic: high arches, pointed windows, but also round windows, decorative masonry and round bars around the windows.
About this building
The interior is unique, as the walls are all brick imitation, a deep red color with white joints. The pointed arched vault fields are also provided with this brick imitation, albeit in different shades and patterns. An organ, pulpit, piscinas and mourning boards complete the special interior. The reformed district municipality Maarland rents the church of the Stichting Oude Groninger Kerken and has its church services there.
