Doopsgezinde Kerk

This church is the only remnant of medieval Rotterdam. This church was buit between the 15th and 16th centuries. It became the first all stone building in Rotterdam. The church was heavily damaged in the blitz of Rotterdam in 1940 and restoration was completed in 1968.

The Reformed Church (GKV) in Rotterdam Centrum is an interesting example of post-war reconstruction architecture. Although the building originally served as a GKV church, it is now known as the "Simonstraatkerk". It is a modernist church without a tower and is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings. In 2017, the church was restored, renovated and refurbished. Despite its inconspicuous appearance, the building has architecturally significant details that are characteristic of the post-war reconstruction period. It is a valuable piece of architecture that reflects the history and development of Rotterdam. During the restoration and renovation of the church, the GKV services were temporarily held in the Christian Reformed Rehoboth Church on the Noordsingel. This was a practical solution to provide the religious community with a place to live while their own church building was being renovated. It is interesting to see how this church, amidst modern high-rise buildings, has found and maintained its place in the city centre of Rotterdam. It emphasises the importance of preserving historically and architecturally valuable buildings in a constantly developing city.

Nickname "Steigerkerk". Built to replace the St. Dominicuskerk that was destroyed in 1940. Very important reconstruction complex, with a defining tower, in the centre of Rotterdam, and a beautiful church in many details. Designated a national monument in 2013.
