    The original church of Zweeloo dates back to the 13th century, but over the centuries the church has undergone several renovations and expansions. The building is built in Romanesque style with Gothic elements.

    The church of Zweeloo has a characteristic gable roof tower that protrudes above the roof. The interior of the church contains some interesting period features, including a wooden pulpit from the 17th century and a baptismal font from the 13th century. In addition, there are some beautiful wall paintings to admire, which date from the 14th century.

    On 1 November 1883, Van Gogh made a day trip from Nieuw-Amsterdam / Veenoord in an open cart to Zweeloo, hoping to meet Liebermann and other painters there. To his disappointment, he did not meet them, but he did make a drawing of the church in Zweeloo and the apple orchard that Liebermann had also immortalized. In a letter to his brother Theo, Vincent wrote about what he saw that day, when he entered Zweeloo at six in the morning: “…if I cannot be here forever, I would rather not have seen it.”
