Around 1665, the Little Black Church was built by Pieter and Claes Dirkz. Entirely in wood. The shoring was black tarred, hence the name.

At the rear is the sexton's house. The building was largely rebuilt in 1834 in brick, the tower remained wooden. It was also used as a school until 1790, when a schoolhouse was built next to the church and used as such until 1900. The church has a simple interior, against the south wall a pulpit (1665). The brass baptismal arch with a mill in the top, dates from the 18th century, as does the six-armed candle crown with coats of arms. The painting was restored to its original state as much as possible during the major restoration (1982-1986). The Little Black Church is also available as a wedding venue.
