The Reformed Church in Wilsum was built in 1725, ie almost 300 years ago.
we find an inscription in Latin above the entrance of the church. They recalled that the then Pastor Friedrich Hondela has laid the foundation. Next to the church is the community center.
A horrible accident is reported from the year 1773rd This year the reformed church burned down. The tower and the roof collapsed. Even six houses near the church were destroyed by fire.
