In the Middle Ages, going to church was more or less compulsory and the dead were buried in or near the church. Rolde's dingspilkerk fulfilled an important central function. From the surrounding settlements, 'kerkepaden' ran to Rolde, also known as 'reewegen' (reeweg = road along which the dead were transported to the cemetery). The historic Balloo-Rolde church path has been cut into the landscape in the Rolde land consolidation (mid-1970s).
