The foundation of the tower is made of boulders. Until about 3m high the tooled boulders support the brick Roman style tower which dates back to the 1200s. The spire and adjacent neogothic church structure are relatively new (20th and 19th century respectively). The church is still being used by the Dutch reformed community in Emmen, but also serves as an exhibition hall and concert venue. The building can be rented for multiple purposes..See more..

4.0Dorpskerk Zuidlaren(4 reviews) - The Village Church Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
Dorpskerk ( Village church) is located at the end of the main street, the busiest area with all the shops, restaurants, supermarkets, B&B, hotel and others. The church was not open at the time we're there. It's also a wedding location as it was written on the board outside the church. No other information about the opening time etc. We were here because our hotel is not far from this site.See more..
4.5Bonifatiuskerk Vries(3 reviews) - Beautiful 12th century church Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals
The tower is more than 800 years old. The middle part in Roman style as well dates from the same period. The third Gothic section is early 15th century. Though perhaps not intentionally the three parts are linked up well. At first if you enter the church the light is rather dim, but once you reach the last part it is very light. Here a opened bible is positioned on the middle of a table. In the basement there is a small museum. It can be visited by appointment. During the summer months the church is open daily from 10AM to 5PM.See more..

4.0Oecumenische Dorpskerk Peize(1 review) - People of different beliefs together Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals This 13th century Peize church with a tower built in 1803 in the center of the village is still in use by people of different beliefs. It is a ecumenical church. Perhaps a good example of Dutch people, who are leaving a long period of religious division and strife behind them. Cycled here from Assen railway station which is just 20 km away, but to hike 10 km to Peize from the city of Groningen through the Onlanden nature reserve is an option as well.See more..

Nadat de Spanjaarden het Drentse vesting-stadje Coevorden in de 80 jarige oorlog lieten platbranden ontstond er een nieuwe 17de eeuwse vestingstad.De 17de eeuwse Protestantse kerk Coevorden uit 1641-1645 is een van de weinige overgebleven monumenten uit die periode.De Canadese stad Vancouver dankt haar naam aan de familie van Coevorden.Ik vond ook het historische kasteel van Coevorden uit 1025-1600 een bezoek waard.Verder zijn er veel onopvallende moderne gebouwen in de vestingstad.See more..
