Garnizoens Church

The organ in Bellingwolde was built by Heinrich Hermann Freytag and Frans Caspar Snitger jr. It was completed in 1797. It has no back work. Over the years, the organ has undergone a lot of work. However, not much has changed. In 1931, the Van Dam company replaced the Dulciaan of the Hoofdwerk with a Violon 8' and the Sesquialter with a Gamba 8'. In 1992, AH de Graaf carried out a restoration and reconstruction, so that it now looks as it did in 1797. Stef Tuinstra was the advisor during the restoration. Since the restoration, the Bourdon 16' has had two positions, so that only the notes C-cis sound when the registers are half drawn. In 2019, the Elbertse company carried out major maintenance, as well as cleaning work. Under the advice of Stef Tuinstra, work was also done to improve the playing character and mechanisms, but with great restraint. The work was completed in April 2020. On May 16, 2020, the instrument was put back into use during an open afternoon.

The current Dutch Reformed Church from 1783 did have an older predecessor, possibly from the 16th century. That old church was seriously damaged in 1781 during a village riot about the appointment of a new schoolmaster. It was decided to demolish it and build a new one. On 29 September 1941, the tower (from 1872) burned down after it was hit by a crashing English plane. The church was restored in phases between 1963 and 2001. On 20 May 2003, the weather vane was replaced and the restoration was completed. On that occasion, the booklet Dutch (sic) Reformed Church Blijham - Then and Now (48-02/51-04) was published.

A late Gothic church, but without frivolous tracery in the windows: no passes or blowing fish. It was completed in 1506 as a rectangular hall church. Inside, the church has a renaissance pulpit, the organ from 1862 and the carved tombstones.
