Michaëlkerk
The oldest part of the church was probably built shortly after the year 1000 and consists of tuff stone from the Eifel mountains.
About this building
The church has undergone many construction and renovations, which can be seen from the various types of stone in the outer walls. For example, in 1681, when a hurricane partially destroyed the upper part of the tower of the church. The tower is also not in the middle of the nave. In the church, one finds a Gothic host niche (ca. 1450) in the former chancel, the 17th century Renaissance pulpit with a baroque banister. In the chancel, there is also a sacrament house, the only one of its kind in Friesland. For the double-fronted organ that adorns the western gallery, a new design was made in 1875 by the firm of Dam & sons for a two-manual in their oeuvre.
