Oostum Church
Highlight • Religious Site
Oostum was ecclesiastically combined with Garnwerd for centuries. Because most churchgoers went to Garnwerd and most services were held there, maintenance was increasingly seen as an expensive expense by the church council at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1841, the church council wanted to demolish the church, but the people of Oostum successfully resisted this: the municipality of Ezinge requested the Provincial Board of Supervision of Church Property to oblige the church council to properly maintain the church. However, little maintenance was carried out and in 1857 the church council tried to obtain permission from the Provincial Executive to demolish the church. The people of Oostum again resisted. The Board of Supervision then discovered that the obligatory necessary maintenance had not been carried out by the church the year before (although restoration work had been carried out on the church in Garnwerd), while this had been done according to the annual report and accused the church council of misuse of property. It demanded that the necessary maintenance be carried out after all. A structural inspection also showed that the building was not in as bad a condition as the church council had previously wanted us to believe. A member of the church council resigned, the building was restored and further plans for the demolition of the church were not made.
The roof covering is striking. It consists partly of semi-circular tiles (monks and nuns) that alternately lie with the convex and concave sides facing upwards.
The pulpit with a mannerist baptismal fence dates from 1663. The pew, with the family crest of Lewe van Aduard, was made in the first half of the 18th century.
