Reformed Church and Tower on moated churchyard. The Martini Church has the nickname “Cathedral among Frisian Village Churches”. The church with tower from 1688 is completely moated.
Replaced older church, 1772 tower renewed. On January 1, 2002, the Protestant churches in our region joined forces and the Samen-Op-Weg community De Slachsang was formed (now Protestant Regional Community De Slachsang). The regional community is a merger of the Protestant community De Slachsang in Lytsewierrum, which also includes Rien and part of Reahûs, the Protestant community De Slachsang in Britswert-Wiuwert-Easterwierrum and the Protestant community De Slachsang in Boazum.
The Sint Joriskerk in Britswert is built from yellow Friesian bricks. In the church, which was formerly dedicated to Saint Nicholas, there are several gravestones, such as the author of the Schotanus atlas Christianus Schotanus (1671).
