De Fontein

Evangelical Church De Lichtstad, this building replaces the previous wooden temporary building on the Heezerweg. The Evangelical Church De Lichtstad has two buildings. One is "De Akker" on the Smetsakker 47, in the northern district of Woensel. The other was the former Dutch Reformed Church Tivoli Church on the Heezerweg 466, a wooden temporary building. This last building was in poor condition, and a new church, De Fontein, was built on the Wegedoornlaan 29. The church was already put into use in May 2005. The church still had to be finished and furnished. On Saturday, October 15, 2005, this church building De Fontein was officially put into use.
