Hiking

St. Hippolytus Church is located in the middle of the woods of Olterterp. The church was built around 1500 of solid yellow and red bricks. After construction, the church was probably expanded, given the clear building seam in the north wall. Unlike many old Frisian churches, this one has not been raised, but rather lowered. In addition, the stair top of the closing facade is striking, which is quite remarkable for a medieval Frisian church.
