The village was built on and around the Kantsterwierde and located on the Boterdiep. The village still has its original ox-walk and a road around the church from about 1200 at the highest point of the mound. The largely Romanesque church has an octagonal tower supported by a large buttress with a passage. On the edge of the mound you will find the corn and hulling mill de Grote Geert.

Cozy village to cycle through along the church. And to cycle through to Onderdendam or Eppenhuizen.
