The history of this former church is connected to the Tjarda van Starkenborgh family. In 1656, one of the children ordered the elevation of the tower and the repair of the church. A family heirloom, in the form of a weapon, carved by Casper Struiwig, now hangs in the church. A family crypt is located underneath the choir.
