This (interesting) church has always been on Belgian territory. The Dutch in the Zeelandic Flemish Koewacht initially went to church in the Belgian Koewacht, from 1687 in a chapel, later in a new church that was consecrated in 1714. After the border was closed during the First World War, a Roman Catholic emergency church was built on the Dutch side of the border. This was replaced in 1922 by the definitive church of the HH Philippus en Jacobus, the church that is still in use today.

Reconstruction church with tower. On the site of the previous church.

Protestant families in Lattrop and Breklenkamp were prepared to sign a petition from G. Rikkink and J. Groeneveld in 1816 to help the parishioners in Lattrop and Breklenkamp to their own church. In addition to the reasons already given by Bentinck about the distance to Ootmarsum and the large amount of water in the Dinkel in the winter, the unsuitability of the current location is now discussed in detail: “In the aforementioned farmhouse, which according to local custom contains the home of the householders and the stable for the cattle without a partition or dividing wall, and therefore directly with and in the presence of horses and cows to attend the Holy Mass and sermon”. According to tradition, three locations are eligible for these special clandestine churches: 1. A barn on the Bodde farm on the Bergvennenweg. 2. The barn on the former Pikkemaat farm on the Frensdorferweg. 3. On the Scholte Lubberink estate on Dorpsstraat. Coach house with wall of former peat storage at church in Lattrop
