De Hoeksteen

The Reformed Church of Hallum and the Reformed community of Hallum-Hijum-Finkum have formed a Protestant community. Both church buildings are used alternately. The new community bears the name of Mariëngaarde, named after the monastery that stood here and was founded in 1163 by abbot Freark fan Hallum. (55-06)
