Apostolisch Genootschap

Built as Dutch Reformed Church in the Rotterdam district of Blijdorp, north of (= behind) the Central Station. Beautiful church. Architecturally exceptionally important interbellum church, with a series of outbuildings surrounding the inner garden, including a chapel, and an extremely original tower. Both the church and the adjacent parsonage are municipal monuments. Large hall church, built in 1933 by JC Meischke and P. Schmidt. Rectangular narrow tower with tent roof. Internal lobed wooden barrel vault. Furniture, organ and pulpit come from the former Reformed Oosterkerk in Rotterdam, which was demolished in 1933. After the demolition of the nearby Reformed Statensingelkerk, it was also used by the Reformed Church. Later a church of the PKN. The large church space has also been used by the IZB Gemeente Noorderlicht since 02-07-2012, which holds services on Sundays at 11:00. (Meaning of abbreviation IZB to be verified). The PKN church services (largely) take place in the Chapel of the complex, on Sundays at 10:00. To be verified since when this has been the case. In the large, monumental church hall, celebrations take place of the Noorderlicht congregation, a special congregation of the PKN. This congregation also holds Sunday celebrations in 2 other churches: the Oranjekerk in Hillegersberg and the Oude Kerk in Charlois in Rotterdam Zuid.

Large, exceptionally important city church designed by Tjeerd Kuipers. Facade with two towers of different heights. Many interesting details. After threats of closure and demolition, it was restored in the course of 2000. This church is still in use as a "Reformed Church", not as a PKN church. Also in use for cultural activities. After the demolition of the Nieuwe Zuiderkerk in 1969, the Bergsingelkerk is the most monumental Reformed church in Rotterdam. In shared use (was) by the Pakistani Urdu Community.

Extremely interesting modern church, in the characteristic well-maintained, and with substantiated symbolism provided, anthroposophical architecture. This is the second church building in the Netherlands, after the one in The Hague, of the Christian Community. Later similar churches followed in Amsterdam, Zeist, Veldhoven, Alkmaar.
