Originally this church was built in the 12th or 13th century. Today there is not much left of the medieval tuff stone church walls. There used to be a freestanding tower near the church. This was used as a guideline when establishing the border between Groningen and Friesland. In 1839 the tower was demolished and replaced by the current tower, which was built on the west side of the church. The ringing bell dates from 1630 and was looted by the Germans during the Second World War. After the war he was found again and hung in the tower again. In 2007, the church was thoroughly restored, thanks to a prize from the Bank-Giro lottery. The church won a competition in which monuments had a chance to win a million in restoration money. visitgroningen.nl/nl/locations/1809372892/kerk-vierhuizen

Apparently this church has just been restored, because it looks like new.
