About this building
Now it is a closed hall church with enlarged round arch windows and an indoor tower with a needle spire and a lion as a wind vane.
The church used to have a free-standing tower that was used as a guideline when establishing the border between Groningen and Friesland. In 1839 this tower was demolished and replaced by the current, in-house tower. In 1869 the church was plastered and the building history covered. In 2007 the church was again thoroughly restored and taken into use again. With a million euros in prize money, thanks to the television program, a large-scale restoration was started in 2007. Nowadays the church is once again in use for services and activities are regularly organized.
