The current church was build between 1446 and 1461, the small medieval church which stood at that location preciously was demolished to build the new one. The tower of the church was built in the 15th century and the gabled roof was added in the 17th century. It became a Protestant church during the Reformation. There was a big renovation which, apart from work on the tower, ended in 1955.
The church is located at the Groot Kerkhof 24 in the centre of Bolsward.
