The Protestant church of Boazum, also known as the Martinikerk, is a striking medieval church in the small village of Boazum, near Sneek. Its most notable feature is the leaning tower, which tilts visibly due to settling foundations – a charming quirk that makes it a local landmark. Inside, the church boasts a unique interior with a beautifully carved pulpit, 17th-century choir screens, and a series of painted panels depicting biblical scenes. The serene atmosphere and well-preserved details offer a fascinating glimpse into Frisian religious art and architecture. The church is still used for services and is open to visitors during summer months or by appointment.
