The first thing that catches the eye upon entering this church is the triumphal arch, which features wood carvings and separates the chancel from the nave. It features a centrally placed medallion with carved garlands on either side, created by Anthonie Wallis (1790–1845). Just as in Groningen’s Martinikerk, the chancel of this fifteenth-century Gothic church is higher than the nave. Beneath the chancel lies the burial vault for the residents of Dijksterhuis manor. The memorial plaques, including those for the Watergeus Diderick Sonoy and his wife Maria van Malsen, give the chancel almost the appearance of a burial chapel. They were made in 1613 and are among the oldest surviving examples in the province. I. Diakonoff (Hoofdstraat 80, Pieterburen, 0595-528401) and/or P.J.C.
