Ditzum Church and Bell Tower

The brick church was built around 1180-1220, but at the latest in the middle of the 13th century as a single nave apse hall on a mound. Originally it was a processional church. [1] The rectangular floor plan is 26.5 m × 10.5 m. In the pre-Reformation period, the church belonged to the provost Hatzum in the diocese of Münster, changed in the Reformation period to the Lutheran and 1640, no later than 1650 to the Reformed confession. The first reformed pastor was Albert Holthuis, who in 1641 gave a sermon in Ditzum (Wikipedia).

The beautiful and old church from the 12th century with a hexagonal tower, together with the harbor and the mill, has a decisive influence on the face of the tranquil harbor town at the foot of the Dollart. A visit is not only worthwhile from the outside, but also from the inside.

This nave is also inclined in parts.
There are two peculiarities
1. the bell tower stands alone next to the church
2. the organ in the church is at the front directly behind the altar.
