TP 54 This church was built at the beginning of the 13th century. Such a church without extensions is called a hall church. The eagle on the pulpit is striking in the church. Initially, one might think of the eagle as one of the symbols associated with John (the evangelist). In other churches in Western Europe, this symbolism has been used in combination with the reading of the gospel since the late Middle Ages.

The eagle as an image also appears in other churches, including in Beilen and Rolde in Drenthe. The origin of this is now known. The organ builder and restorer Petrus van Oeckelen from Glimmen ordered and placed these statues”.

The bricklayers from Lippe, who work in the nearby brick factory Rusthoven, had their own pew in the church.

Beautiful church, on a mound (?) in the middle of Wirdum.
