Doopsgezinde Kerk

The church is mainly brick and was built in the 13th century and is known as Laurentius church. Of the original entrances only the southern one remains. Inside, white stucco melon vaults contrast with the dark brown furniture. The interior has survived the Beeldenstorm, thanks to pastor Louwe Fritema.

There are no written sources available about the origin and construction history of this church. The church was probably built in the 13th century. In 1371, Mensingeweer was listed as a parish together with Maarslag. It was initially a simple hall church with a straight choir closure where Roman Catholic services were held until the Reformation. The church is built in large-format monastery bricks that are hidden from view by a flat white-painted plaster that was applied in 1842. Only on the first floor of the tower is a fragment of the original brickwork still visible in the form of brick blind niches with decorative brickwork. After a major restoration, the Michaëlskerk was put back into use on Saturday, October 25, 2003. The church has been restored in phases since 1999. The restoration of the exterior was completed in 2000. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The church of Saaxumhuizen has sadly lost its medieval character through various renovations and repairs. The church nowadays has mainly 19th century features. The current tower has replaced a free-standing, low, obtuse tower.
