Kerk Vierhuizen
This church was originally built in the 12th or 13th century. Not much remains today of the medieval tuff stone church walls. Over the years, the church has been altered and rebuilt many times, and has even been saved from ruin on several occasions.

There used to be a freestanding tower next to the church. This was used as a landmark when determining the border between Groningen and Friesland. In 1839, the tower was demolished and replaced by the current tower, which was built into the west side of the church. The bell dates from 1630 and was looted by the Germans during the Second World War. After the war, it was recovered and hung in the tower once more. In 2007, the church underwent extensive restoration, thanks to a prize from the Bank-Giro Lottery. The church won a competition in which listed buildings were in with a chance of winning a million in restoration funds.
