The building is housed in a foundation Freonen fan de Boazumertsjerke. The goal of the Foundation Freonen fan de Boazumertsjerke is to contribute to the preservation of the St. Martenstsjerke in the village of Boazum in the best possible condition. If a small church community can no longer afford the costs, outside help is needed.
Replaced older church, 1772 tower renewed. On January 1, 2002, the Protestant churches in our region joined forces and the Samen-Op-Weg community De Slachsang was formed (now Protestant Regional Community De Slachsang). The regional community is a merger of the Protestant community De Slachsang in Lytsewierrum, which also includes Rien and part of Reahûs, the Protestant community De Slachsang in Britswert-Wiuwert-Easterwierrum and the Protestant community De Slachsang in Boazum.
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).
Reformed church, because of the single manual organ, made in 1842 by PJ Radersma from Wommels. After being moved to the new church in 1861 it was rebuilt by W. Hardorff from Leeuwarden into an organ with main work and upper work. Restored in 1972 by J. Vermeulen from Alkmaar.
