Sint Nicolaasga, NL
The church was originally dedicated to Saint Nicholas. Excavations have shown that there was a church before this church, probably more than one, because in addition to monastery bricks, a tufa stone called âlde Friezen was also found in the churchyard. These stones were used in church construction around 1100. There was a fire in the church in January 1970. An overheated stove in the middle of the church caused the roof to catch fire. This resulted in a large hole in the roof. The damage was then repaired using panelling and carpeting. This disrupted the acoustics in the church. During the extensive renovation of 2006/2007, some things were restored. The church is used by the Protestant Community of Tjerkgaast, Idskenhuizen and Sint Nicolaasga.
