Kerk Nieuw Scheemda
In 1659, part of the land reclaimed from the Dollard (previously known as Scheemderhamrik) was separated from Scheemda. The Reformed congregation of Nieuw-Scheemda then began building a nieuwe kerk.

Location
According to the commemorative stone on the façade, the foundation stone was laid in 1660. It became a straight-ended hall church with a traditional appearance. The interior is simple yet harmonious, partly because the entire interior dates from the period in which the church was built. Next to the pulpit hangs an iron alms box and a small whip used to chase dogs out of the church. On either side of the chancel stand the benches for dignitaries. During the restoration in 2008, the wood-effect finish on these benches was restored, as was the blue-green colour of the ceiling.
