The Romanesque Magnuskerk (Magnus Church) - named after the bishop of Trani (Italy) - dates from around 1100 and was a replacement of a number of wooden church. It was extended several times during its history. The church tower is a gabled roof tower and dates from the 12th century. The interior of the chuch offers wall paintings from the 13th century. During the Middle Ages, the church also served as court house. Up until the Reformation, which took hold in the province of Drenthe in 1598, the church in Anloo was Roman Catholic. The church was restored between 1941 and 1944 and nowadays is still used for services.

Hunebedden (megalithic tombs) are the oldest monuments in the Netherlands. They were built more than 5.000 years ago in the last phase of the Stone Age by people of the Funnel Beaker Culture, who buried their dead in these hunebedden . The stones of which the dolmens are built are originating from Scandinavia. They were carried south by the advancing land ice during an ice age. When the ice melted, the stones that were carried along were left behind. Hunebed D8 was built between 3400 and 3100 BC and is attributed to the Funnelbeaker culture. It is a fairly large portal tomb with four capstones, eight side stones and two keystones. The hunebed is almost 8 metres long and 4.4 metres wide. The oldest mention dates from 1711.
