De Amshoff

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.

Documents have shown that there was already a church here in 1350. The current church is from 1778. After the demolition of the detached medieval tower in 1888, a new one was built against the church.

St. Willibrordus, 1866-1873, Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921) . Three-aisled neo-Gothic hall church without transept. Pointed gables on the side aisle bays. Tower with two niches in each facade, frontals and four-sided spire. Articulated brick pillars with moulded capitals, cross-ribbed vaults. Polychrome interior with painted brick; furnishings and glazing from the construction period, from the Cuypers & Stolzenberg studio in Roermond. The windows in the nave partly come from the St. Martinus church in Foxham-Martenshoek, which closed in 1990. Early work from Cuypers' second period, influenced by the Westphalian hall church Gothic.
