Thomaskerk

The first church of this village, according to the chronicles, was built in the year 1303 by a noble maiden from the family of Ubnia, who entered a convent, on the north side of the old convent, next to the stins of Brother Dodo Tjebbinga, who gave this new church a beautiful crucifix; while it was endowed with two beautiful paintings by his two brothers, Gerlacus and Benedictus. However, this church later fell into disrepair due to old age, and in 1508 a completely new one was built for it, and provided with a new tower, because the old one had already collapsed the previous year." The church on the relatively high cemetery mound is surrounded by a gravel path with a double hedge with lime trees. The church was built in 1873 to a design by JA Timmenga to replace an older house of worship. The building is constructed of grey-brown brick with yellow reveals around the windows with iron traceries. The tower is incorporated in the west facade and provided with a wooden superstructure with a constricted, octagonal spire with slates. The church roof has blue glazed, corrugated Frisian tiles. During restoration, the gravestone of the last abbot of Bloemkamp, ​​the Cistercian abbey near Hartwerd, was found. The gravestone of Thomas van Groningen is displayed in the church.
