The rectangular Gothic church, dating from around 1300, was built of monastery stones. The pointed windows in the brickwork are beautifully interspersed with pointed arches. The church was renovated in 1620. The dusty thatched roof was replaced by a coveted tiled roof, and a pulpit was added inside. Both the cross on the east side and the plaque with the angel on the south wall commemorate this renovation.
In 2013, the church building became the property of the Stichting Alde Fryske Tsjerken (Alde Fryske Churches Foundation).
