Kerk Eenum

Eenum is home to one of the oldest brick churches in the Ommelanden region. The small Romanesque church was built in the late 12th century. Presumably, the little church looked something like what the church of Oosterwijtwerd looks like today.

Over time, the church has undergone many changes. For example, an entrance was added to the south wall in the 15th century. The current windows were also probably only added in the 16th century. Most of the interior dates from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. For example, the church council benches feature elements from the first half of the seventeenth century. The pew on the north side, which includes an offering box, has a beautifully carved frieze featuring coats of arms. The church houses one of the best-preserved Arp Schnitger organs. This organ was donated to the church by the Alberda family in 1704.
