The Reformed Church of Grolloo is a built in 1853 church hall on Main Street in Drenthe place Grolloo.
The Dutch Reformed Church of Grolloo was built in 1853 with support from the national government as a ' water management church . The church has a neoclassical appearance. In 1975 the church by Bureau of Monuments of the province of Drenthe restored. The Doric columns and chandeliers date from the time of the restoration. The pulpit and the benches date from the time when the church was built.
The side walls of the church contains five bays . The front of the church is symmetrically shaped. The entrance is in the middle ressault with both sides large cast iron round arch windows. Above the entrance is a smaller rondbogig window. Further upward movement is surmounted by a openwork octagonal spire. In the tower hangs a bell dating from 1422, which comes from elsewhere. In 1983, an organ derived from Assen was placed in the church. This organ was originally created in 1934 for the chapel of the mental hospital Light and Power in Assen.
The church building has been recognized as a national monument because of its cultural history, the architecture and the urban historical importance. Consistency with the neoclassical presbytery and also with the adjacent cemetery and the integrity of the church played a role in designating a national monument.
