Nieuw Scheemda Church

After the reclamation of a part of the Dollard, a settlement was established in 1659, which was designated as Scheemderhamrik. A newly formed reformed municipality split from Scheemda. New Scheemda was born and immediately started building a church. This was completed in 1661 and provided with a real clockwork; the dial is in the 'dakkapel'.

Gereformeerde Kerk

Modern church with small tower. Renovation and extension with meeting room in 1983. New liturgical centre in 1995.

Midwolda Church

The tower of this church has a special, octagonal, wooden superstructure, and was built two decades earlier than the church itself. The current wide rectangular hall church was built in 1738 and replaced a very impressive Romanesque church with four (!) towers. A reminder of these towers can be seen in the pinnacles on the wide gable roof; on every corner one. In the church itself the large Hinsz organ from 1772 stands out.
