The Dutch Reformed Church of Boornbergum was built in 1734. The church was built on the foundations of a predecessor made of tuff stone, the bell tower with saddle roof of which had partially collapsed on 5 December 1733. The current church building is of the hall church type. Its interior includes several centuries-old gravestones, a 17th-century pulpit, a copper baptismal bowl made in 1614 and an organ built in 1925 by the Leeuwarden firm Bakker en Timmenga.
Built as a Reformed Church. Interesting modern church building with tower. Renovated in 1984.
The church of Kortehemmen probably dates from the thirteenth century. The church has a sober character, both inside and out. The pulpit is from the Renaissance. Next to the church is a belfry from the eighteenth century.
The GK, built in 1917, was closed in 2004 and demolished shortly thereafter. The PKN church, former NH church on Dorpsstraat, dates from 1908. In 2008, its 100th anniversary was celebrated. At that time, the pulpit bible, baptismal font and communion set from the former GK were also given a permanent place in the PKN church. (61-09)
