The church is named after Hobbe van Baerdt, the grietman (mayor) of Haskerland (1615-1650). The triangular ornament (the pediment) above the entrance gate reads "De heer Gritman Hobbe van Baerdt 1644." That same year, on March 18, the foundation stone was laid for the construction of the two-aisled church (nave and side aisle). This new building was intended to replace a church from the 16th century. In 1939, the church was destroyed by fire, and due to the Second World War, reconstruction dragged on until 1947.
