Bergsingelkerk

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.

Opstandingskerk

On February 25, 1960, the first pile was driven for the Reformed Church of the Resurrection on Lisplein. A design by MCA Meischke, who also designed the Reformed Church at the Technikon, the Scottish Church, the Mormon Church on Jacques Perkstraat and a -now demolished- Reformed Church in Hoogvliet. The building has recently been partly used as a meeting place for residents of the Liskwartier: the Torentuin. With a café, shared office space and the occasional performance.
