Mauritiuskerk

Before the construction of the current church, there was a cow market on the site. In 1830, the Reformed Church was built here. This was expanded in 1868 with a transept. The church replaced the dilapidated St. Mauritius Church that belonged to the St. Mary's Monastery of the Carmelites. That church and the monastery were probably built in the 14th century and stood on the current cemetery on the Galamagracht in IJlst. The 16th century pulpit with baptismal fence, the board with the collection bags and the Bader pipework of the original organ were transferred from that church to the current Mauritius Church at the time.

Johanneskerk

Hall church, built in 1860 to replace the medieval village church (St Vitus). Narrower, three-sided choir closure, divided by round-arched niches between lesenes with entablatures. Plastered tower with round-arched niches and constricted spire. The plastered interior has a barrel vault rising from a cove moulding. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Witte Kerkje

Built as Christian Reformed Church (CGK). Hall church in sober neo-Romanesque style, with round arch windows and a small bell pylon above the front facade. Damaged by fire in 1966, after which it was restored in a modified, more sober form. Since January 2005, the Reformed Church (GKV) has also been holding church services here. In 2008, the church was temporarily out of use due to renovations. The CGK and the GKV began discussions in 1992. A joint church service was held for the first time in September 2002. In 2004, the Reformed Church was able to sell its building profitably to the Fries Scheepvaartmuseum next door. And since 1 January 2005, both have been using the CGK building. Initially, there were separate morning services and joint afternoon services. But soon all services were held jointly and the federation was formed on 1 January 2007. On November 23, 2008, the first church service was held in the fully restored and renovated Chr. Geref. Church. The restored church was officially put into use on Saturday, February 28, 2009. The so-called White Church, built in 1907 and rebuilt after a fire in 1966, is the permanent home of the CGKV church. During the restoration, church services were held in the former youth hostel De Wigledam on the Oude Oppenhuizerweg, behind the former Kingfabriek. (53-05/54-05/57-07/61-09) Dbb.
