Margarethakerk

Large village church, built on a high mound and originally built in the 12th century from tuff. Consisting of a heavily patched tuff nave from the 12th century, against which a semi-circular closed choir of large yellow brick from the 13th century connects. In the 15th century the windows were renewed in Gothic style and a sacristy was added on the north side. In 1854 the dilapidated tower was demolished and, partly using the old stone, rebuilt. Restoration of the tower took place in 1902. The choir is said to still contain (remnants of) painted over frescoes.
