Like a hen between her chicks, this brick church is surrounded by the fishermen's houses in the old town center and towers over them. You can walk around it in the park-like churchyard. The entrance to the park bears a prayer on both sides: “tege quod fuit: quod erit rege” In German, for example: “Cover (graciously) what has been: what (but) will be, (that) direct!” This artistic verse ( in Kreuzstellung / Chiasmus) comes from Theodore Beza, documented from 1584. He was a student, fellow campaigner and finally successor of John Calvin in his Reformed Church. He was committed to the right of the congregation or religious community to remove incompetent church leaders - if necessary by all means - and cultivated a collegial leadership style. To the right behind this entrance arch, east of the church, one can also admire the neat, still in use “Catechism room” from 1905.

Image-defining (very) old church (13th century, the tower is from two centuries later) in the water sports area of Friesland. Has a long history of additions and additions, in the church the 'gentlemen's benches' of the wealthy notables, a memory of a past past. Now a central place in the village and the community.

The Saint Peter in Grou is a highly picturesque, highly historical romanesque church. Originally built in the 13th century, it was extended in the 15th when also the church tower was built. There is a monumental organ inside dating back to 1853. It is possible to walk around the entire church which is set in a very pretty garden.

Beautiful surroundings with a parish and catechesis house and guesthouse.

Prachtige oude kerk in hartje centrum van Grou. Hoewel de toren niet publiek toegankelijk is heb je vanuit dit hoogtepunt een prachtig uitzicht over de omgeving.
