In Heeg there was a medieval church dedicated to Christopher . In 1745 this church was replaced by a church with a dome tower due to dilapidation. In 1747 this church received stained glass by Ype Staak . In 1840 the church was demolished due to an increase in the church community, with the exception of the front church and tower, and replaced by the current three-sided closed hall church . The wooden facade tower was built in 1797 on the substructure from 1745. In the tower with a constricted spire hangs a bell (1616) by bell founders Johan Franciscus and Thomas Simon.
