The church is located on a high mound, which originated a few centuries before our era. The mound was largely excavated at the end of the 19th century, especially on the south side. A retaining wall on the side keeps the cemetery and the church from subsidence. The cemetery is separated from the village by an iron gate. The church consists of a nave with a narrow and closed choir on five sides. On the west side is a heavy tower with gable roof crowning. It is striking that the church and tower are almost the same width. The church was originally dedicated to Saint Peter. The church of Wânswert already had an organ in the 16th century. wanswerd.com/petruskerk
