It is an early 12th-century Romanesque church with a long round closed choir and a late 12th-century tower.[1] The church is largely built of tuffstone.[1] In 1951 the tower collapsed, soon after it, it was rebuilt.[1] The monumental Pipe organ of the church was built in 1799 by Albertus van Gruisen.[1]
It was originally a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Radboud, but became a Protestant temple after the Protestant Reformation. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 8494.[2] The building is located on the Sluytermanwei 4[3] and is in the care of Stichting Alde Fryske Tsjerken (Old Frisian Churches Foundation).[4]
