The nave and quintuple closed choir date from c.1200 and are build out of red brick.[1] The building has a tower that dates from the 13th century and a Pipe organ that was built in 1899 by Bakker & Timmenga from Leeuwarden.[1]
The church is located on the Wijns 31[2] and was once a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Vitus but became a Protestant church after the protestant reformation. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 35690 and is rated with a very high historical value.[3]
