Old village church dating back to the 9th century. The Gospel has been preached on the site of St. Magnus Church since the 9th century. Excavations by Professor A. E. van Giffen have shown that the current church building was preceded by a series of wooden structures, likely built in the 9th and 10th centuries.

Old village church of Zuidlaren. The oldest part of St. Mary's Church, the nave, was built in the 13th century. The tower was built around 1300 and heightened in the 15th century. The current tower is 32.4 meters high. This was determined during the restoration in 1950/51 by the then owner, the municipality of Zuidlaren. In 2009, the tower was remeasured, and its height was again determined to be 32.4 meters. Source and further information: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorpskerk_(Zuidlaren)

The windmill in general is one of the most typical buildings in Holland and should not be missed as a photographic document on a trip.
