Hippolytus Church.

In the middle of the woods of Olterterp and yet close to various catering establishments is the Sint Hippolytus Church of Olterterp. Due to its romantic location and beautiful interior, the church undoubtedly owes its fame as the "wedding church" of Fryslân. In the summer there are often exhibitions of visual art. In addition to the tower and choir cloister, the Gothic church has stepped gables. The pulpit with hourglass from 1780 shows images of the four Evangelists and Moses with the Ten Commandments on the five tub panels. In 1744 the Boelens family, since the 18th century residents of the nearby Slot Boellens (now Huize Olterterp, head office of It Fryske Gea) donated 5oo guilders for the construction of the tower, which is commemorated by a memorial stone above the entrance. For reservations of the church, please contact 0512-381413. The church belongs to the Alde Fryske Tsjerken Foundation.
