De Open Hof
Soest, NL
The Open Hof dates from 1971. From the beginning, the Protestants and the Reformed went 'Together on the Way'. This was quite unique at the time and received a lot of attention in the press. In the mid-eighties, the collaboration had reached the point where in practice it was a truly federal church. The building underwent various adjustments over the years. Initially, separate rooms for young people were added. In 1994, the church hall was enlarged and raised to a light space with good acoustics. Finally, in November 1997, the new Nijsse organ was put into use, which crowned all this work. Since 1 May 2004, De Open Hof, together with other parishes in Soest, has been united into the Protestant Church of the Netherlands.
