Characteristic Tjeerd Kuipers church with tower. Built as a Reformed Church. Expansion of the church in 1918-1919, also under the leadership of Tj. Kuipers. The church has been used by the Reformed Church (Liberated) since 1945, and was renovated again in 1948. Around 1998, the church was renovated on the inside. During this renovation, the organ console was raised. This created extra space under the church hall (the church is located on a rampart, which means that there is a considerable difference in height between the front and back of the church hall) where extra meeting space was created.
