The Protestant church of Hantumhuzen or Saint Anne's church[1] is a religious building in Hantumhuzen, Netherlands, one of the many medieval churches in Friesland.
The Romano-Gothic church was built in the first half of the 13th century out of red Brick.[1] The tower dates from c. 1200 and the quintuple closed choir date from the 18th century.[1]
The Pipe organ was built in 1907 by Bakker & Timmenga.[1] The church is located on the Wierumerwei 2[2] and was once a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Anne but became a Protestant church after the Protestant reformation. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 38700 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]
