Above the entrance of the tower is the weapon Ripperda made in stone. It is suspected that Adolph Ripperda, residing in the house Peize in 1624, when the church was very dilapidated, donated funds for the restoration of the church. At that restoration was out of gratitude the stone with the weapon Ripperda placed above the door.
