Oosterkerk
A church built in the Amsterdam School style, designed by the architect Egbert Reitsma.
Stepping inside the Oosterkerk in Kollum is a remarkable experience. Your attention is immediately drawn to the spectacular painted wooden ceiling, decorated with abstract, flowing and geometric patterns. The artwork was created by George Martens (1894–1979), a Dutch painter and graphic artist best known as a member of the Groningen artists' collective De Ploeg.
The ceiling's rich reds, ochres, blues and green accents seem almost to be in motion, creating a flowing, wave-like effect. Set against the brick walls and the church's restrained furnishings, the artwork becomes even more striking. Daylight streaming through the tall windows highlights the texture of the wood and makes the colours appear even more vibrant.
The church's architecture, designed by Egbert Reitsma—who was also a member of De Ploeg—enhances this unique experience. Its parabolic arch construction creates exceptional acoustics and a remarkable sense of space. Even the light fitting designed by Reitsma is considered a museum piece in its own right. Local tradition has it that not everyone in Kollum appreciated the lavish decoration when the church was first built. To some, it resembled a theatre or even a cinema more than a church. Today, however, the amphitheatre-shaped interior is precisely what makes a visit to the Oosterkerk so memorable.

Workers' cottages Wijnaldum
Workers' cottages Wijnaldum
The characteristic head-neck-barn farmhouses along the Foarryp were established in the 17th century as independent farms on the fertile marine clay. The nearby workers' cottages are a reminder of the many hands needed for mixed farming, combining arable crops with livestock.
Following the construction of the sea dikes, farms were built outside the terps. The fertile marine clay made mixed farming possible, with both livestock and arable cultivation. These characteristic head-neck-barn farmhouses were largely self-sufficient and provided employment for both resident and non-resident farm workers.
