The village is located on a warft, three kilometers south of Pewsum and about eight kilometers northwest of the city of Emden. The current church of Woltzeten was built in 1727.[1] Before that there was a larger church, which had to be demolished in 1725 due to dilapidation. This predecessor church probably dates from the 12th century.
A Premonstratensian monastery stood in the village from the 15th to 16th century, which probably bore the name Blauhaus, named after the color of its roof.[1] An earlier monastery in Woltzeten was lost in a storm flood in the 13th century.[2]
