This old church was build in the first half of the 13 century. The tower is a bit younger and were build around 1450. The oldest stone found in the tower had a yearmark of 1004, which shows that the stones used to build the church are partially even older.
The tower has an angel of 5.07°. The leaning tower of Pisa has "just" an angle of 4.43°.
The church is open for public. Inside you can see an old clockwork from 1906 and some pretty old black floorstones from the medieval. It is a Reformed church nowadays.
