Redbadtsjerke
With a beautiful tower and sober interior, the Redbadcherke in Jorwert is a fine example of a Romanesque church. The front church has recently been renovated. The church is also used as a base for Stifting Nijkleaster.
Maria Church
The Maria Church of Bears is a wonderful unit with the reconstruction of Uniastate. The church is quite somber from the outside, but has a rich interior inside. The church and Uniastate are very popular with bridal couples and day trippers.
Sint Joris Church
The Sint Joriskerk in Britswert is built from yellow Friesian bricks. In the church, which was formerly dedicated to Saint Nicholas, there are several gravestones, such as the author of the Schotanus atlas Christianus Schotanus (1671).
