A medieval church had its "elegant" late-medieval tower expanded in 1537.
Peter Stuyvesant's father Balthasar Stuyvesant was pastor of that (by then Dutch Reformed) church at the time of his son's birth in 1611 or 1612.
Peter Stuyvesant was probably baptised there, though this cannot be proved since the parish register is missing.
In 1810 a fire gutted the building and it was rebuilt.
It was dedicated to Saint Nicholas until the church was closed for worship in autumn 2001 and sold.
The church came into the hands of Folkert Munsterman, who wanted to convert it into a restaurant.
This did not happen, and the church was sold again in 2007.
The dysfunctional Van der Molen organ from 1912 was removed and replaced in 2007 by the 1903 from the Reformed Church of Woldendorp.
The current owner has had the church renamed Peter Stuyvesant Kirke.
The building is available for different purposes.
The village also has a Dutch Reformed chapel, and a Roman Catholic church was built in 1837.

A monument in the village honors Stuyvesant.
 It consists of a model of a sailing ship on top of a glacial erratic.
