The building is located on the Ayttadyk 3[2] and was once a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Nicholas but became a Protestant church after the Protestant reformation. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 24519, and is rated with a very high historical value[3] and is in the care of Stichting Alde Fryske Tsjerken (Old Frisian Churches Foundation).[4]
