The medieval church (13th century), which was originally dedicated to St. Nicholas, was demolished in 1794. The three-part saddle roof tower stands in an elevated cemetery. In the church tower hangs a bell (1481) of the bell founder Warnerus. The tower was restored in 1922 to plans by GJ Veenstra. The gable tips are provided with a climbing arch frieze. A total restoration took place in 1986. The church tower is a national monument.
