Modern church building without tower.

Interesting church, in the form of a farmhouse, without a tower.

Former Restored Apostolic Church. Characteristic modern New Apostolic church building, with octagonal church hall.

Beautiful modern church, somewhat in the form of a North Holland farmhouse, with, among other things, series of stained glass windows. Replaced previous church locations of the New Apostolic Community of Hoorn and surroundings. Remarkably, unlike almost all other NAP churches, the well-known emblem is not placed on the front facade, but on top of the roof.

The New Jerusalem Church in Emmeloord was built as a Reformed Church. Willem van Leeuwen delivered an organ in 1955. It was restored by Kaat & Tijhuis in 1982. The Mixture of the Main Work was changed by them from VI-VIII strong to IV strong. The church building has been in use as a PKN church since June 2006. The organ was overhauled in 2008. The Ruispijp IV strong of the pedal was replaced by a Roerquint 5 1/3', probably by the firm Kaat & Tijhuis, who also maintain the organ. A few years later, the Octaaf 2' of the Rugwerk and the Nachthoorn 2' of the Main Work were swapped.

Built as a Reformed Church. Later expanded. Hall church with roof turret.

Built in 1965 , this church is located in North Holland.

Built as Dutch Reformed Church, replacing the earlier Badkapel, elsewhere in Scheveningen. Extremely important, monumental church building on the ground plan of a Greek cross, built in 1915-1916 to a design by W.Ch. Kuijper jr. The church has two large towers, placed in the armpits of the main nave and transepts. They are crowned by an octagonal structure with helmet-shaped copper roofs. A small dome-shaped crowning on the crossing. Striking entrance with arcades, the arched theme of which recurs in various places in the building. Very large windows in the gables of the four arms, provided with traceries in natural stone and brick. They contain stained-glass figurative glass. The wooden roofs are provided with decorative painting on the inside. In addition to the organ gallery, the church has deep galleries with ascending pew arrangement in the other three naves. The benches on the galleries date from the construction period, those on the ground floor were replaced later. Many interior components from the construction period were preserved; the baptismal fence and church council benches have disappeared. In 1989, new liturgical furniture was placed around the pulpit, the design of which was adapted to the pulpit.

The church was the second reformed church of Borne and is located in the western extension. Characteristic example of protestant church building from the interbellum. The church has recently been renovated internally and externally (see photos).

Interesting modern church with tower. Built in 1965 as the Reformed Church "Light of the World" in the then new Steenvoorde district. Hall church with ancillary rooms on a partly elliptical floor plan and built in sober, partly sculptural forms, visible in the slightly curved and asymmetrically designed tower facade. Characteristic and monumental, so-called glass appliqué wall by J. Vegter from the construction period. It was decided that the Reformed Light of the World Church, built in 1965 by LP van der Gaag, would become the PKN church for that district. A new name for the church was also sought. The choice fell on "New Church". On October 10, 2004, the first celebration took place after the church was redesigned. The Dutch Reformed Reconciliation Church in this district was decommissioned around that time and converted into a health center, almost unrecognizably. Since October 2004, the Protestant Community of Rijswijk has only used the Old Church (historic village church) in addition to this New Church.
