Ter Idzard Church
The church of Ter Idzard is particularly known for its beautifully carved sandstone epitaphs of the Van Idzaerda family. The building itself dates from the sixteenth century.
About this building
It is suspected that around 1100 there was already a full-fledged village where Ter Idzard now lies and that there was already a simple church or a chapel for 150 to 200 parishioners. This church was built around 1500 and modified in 1903 and, with the exception of the new west facade, completely plastered. Behind this plastering is the brick. On the west facade there is a tower with a spire, and the church also contains a beautiful cabinet organ. The Local Commission that has taken over the management of the church since the restoration in 2009-2010 has three spearheads of policy. First, it is available for mourning and wedding services. In addition, concerts are organized. And thirdly, there are plans to set up the church as a Historical Center for the immediate environment. Filing cabinets and internet facilities are already present.
