Description
Architect: Allert Meijer

- This church, established in 1246, has had three different towers. The first was constructed along with the church, but collapsed in a fire caused by lighting in 1671. The second tower suddenly collapsed, without known reason, in 1710. The third time, apparently, was the charm. The tower still stands today.
