The Protestant church of Grou or Saint Peter's church[1] is a religious building in Grou, Netherlands, one of the many medieval churches in Friesland.
The Romanesque church was built in the first half of the 13th century out of tuffstone.[1] Already in the 13th century the church was heightened.[1] In the 15th century the church was lengthened to the west and heightened for the second time with Brick.[1] The current tower dates from the early 15th century.[1]
The monumental Pipe organ was built in 1853 by L. van Dam & Zn. from Leeuwarden.[1]
The church is located on the Kerkstraat 4[2] and was once a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Peter but became a Protestant church after the Protestant reformation.
It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 22894 and is rated with a very high historical value.[3]
