Eenrum (Gr): reformed church
The reformed church is a
one-aisled building that is remarkably big
for a village church. The nave was probably built in two stages at the
end of the 13th century. First a three traves long rectangular church
was built which was later extended with another three traves, the last
of which is the straight choir. The entire church, including the choir,
is covered by a single roof. Although brick was used for the exterior
walls, on the inside of the oldest three traves tuff was used. On the
outside the nave shows very little variation. It has modest buttresses,
small and narrow pointed windows and a few entrances, most of which are
closed, as
well as a hagioscope. This look is the result of a restoration carried
out in 1953-1957. Before that the nave and choir had big pointed
windows and
were covered with a coat of white plaster.
