Saint Vincent and Anthony of Padua Church
At the beginning of the 20th century, Saint Vincent’s Church had become too small. A new parish church was therefore built in a more central location near Mariëndaal and completed in 1937.
By the beginning of the 20th century, Saint Vincent’s Church had become too small for the growing parish community. A new church was therefore built near Mariëndaal, in a more central location within the village. The new parish church was completed in 1937.
One of the two bells from the old church has been preserved and is now displayed in the church façade, serving as a visible reminder of the parish’s earlier history.
The original plans also included the construction of a tall church tower. However, due to financial constraints, this tower was never built. Instead, a traditional Frisian bell frame provided a more affordable solution and continues to give the church its distinctive appearance.
