The foremost church in Wijdenes

betekenis & definitie

(Kerkbuurt 72) is a one-aisled church with a tower of three sections with balustrade and eight-sided striker. The late Gothic tower was built around 1500; spire and balustrade date from a rebuild in 1893. In the tower hangs a bell (1617) cast by Henricus Nieman. The corresponding church was rebuilt after fire (1616) in 1619. Subsequently, the ship was rebuilt in 1839 and after a further renovation in 1857, the addition of a southern crossarm followed.
