Reformed Church. Simple hall building from 1669 under high hipped roof. Framed round-arched closed entrances, round-arched windows; the walls supported by buttresses. In the church carved pulpit from 1726, 18th century, so-called Council bench and covered gentlemen's bench; other benches mostly also 18th century. 18th century copper wall arms.
The church, built in 1931, has been expanded once before. But again, the 200-seat church hall was too small. Between September 2004 and January 2005, a new church hall was added with 300 seats. (53-05)
At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the first Jews settled in Hoogezand. Initially, they held their prayer services in a private home; it was not until 1810 that a synagogue was established in a house in the Kalkwijk. In 1854, a new building was put into use north of the Winschoterdiep, which, in addition to the synagogue, also housed a school, a meeting room and a teacher's house.
In the early seventies of the twentieth century, the two churches of the New Apostolic Church in Hoogezand and Sappemeer were too small to accommodate the number of members. It was decided to build a third church in the new residential areas in the southwest of Hoogezand. The architect was WC van Asperen from Rotterdam. The church was put into use in 1972. In 1981, the church was partly destroyed by fire and put into use again in 1982. In 2010, the congregation was merged with the congregation on the Noordersingel in Hoogezand.
