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.
