Nederlands Hervormde Kerk Wedde
The first time Wedde's church is mentioned in writings is as early as the 11th century. This was probably a wooden predecessor of the current church. The present Romano-Gothic church was built in the first half of the 13th century.

In the fifteenth century, the church was extended and raised. Later (in 1666), part of the church was actually lowered again, as it had been severely damaged during war negotiations. The church is often referred to as the ‘Grote Kerk’ (Great Church). This is probably to distinguish it from the Reformed Evangelical Church in Wedderheide. A notable feature of the church’s interior is the ‘drostenbank’ (magistrate’s bench), which dates from 1700. Various residents of Wedderburcht are buried in the church, including Haye Addinge (1492). The last drost of Westerwolde, Albert Hindrik van Swinderen, is also buried in the church.
