Take a look
It Breahûs is a single-nave church with a gable tower and a constricted spire. It was built in 1728 by Master Carpenter Roelof Saegman. We know this because it is noted on a stained glass window in the church dated 1729. The leaded glass in all of the other windows, which were made by the Houwink glass company in Sneek, contributes to the atmosphere in the church. The Lohman organ was built in 1843.
