Church of Sleen

The Reformed Church is a three-aisled hall church from the 15th century in the town of Sleen in Drenthe. The tower near the church is the highest in Drenthe. Church and tower have been designated as national monuments.

The current church is probably the third church on the same site. The oldest church must have been a wooden building that was replaced by a stone hall church around 1100. The three-sided closed choir, the oldest part of the current church, was probably attached to that hall church. The ship was built between 1350 and 1450. The three-aisled hall church that arose at that time is the only one from this time in Drenthe and testifies to Sleen's position as the capital of the Zuidenveld dingspil. The choir was raised around 1500.
