The Village Church of Opperdoes, until 2013 the Reformed Church, dates from 1530. Before that, on the same site, there was a Catholic church, which was plundered and burned down in 1517 by the troops of Pier Donia ("Great Pier"), as was the village. The tower of the current church was completed in 1525, and the new Catholic church could be put into use in 1530. Around 1572, during the Reformation, the Reformed took over the church. Over time the church has been restored many times. The spire and balustrade were not installed until 1924. The architectural style is (predominantly) Gothic. The building appears sturdy and compact, partly thanks to the large tower. In the one-nave church you can still admire a pulpit from 1688, with beautiful wood carvings, a wooden baptismal gate from the mid-18th century and a copper baptismal arch from 1753. Furthermore, a very beautiful 16-armed copper crown from the 17th century attracts attention. In 2013, the Protestant Community disposed of the church. In the same year, a group of Opperdoes residents established a foundation whose aim is to preserve the church, e.g. for concerts, exhibitions, weddings, etc. The foundation also operates a catering facility (for coffee, tea and cake, etc.) in the former fire station located next to the church, with a summer outdoor terrace. Beautiful church, nice place!
