Mennonite Church. Neoclassical hall church, built in 1842 to plans by PJ Rollema. Front facade with an entrance with round arch windows, four Doric pilasters, a Doric frieze and a triangular gable field. The windows in the side facades have, remarkably enough, the pointed arch shape. The interior has a semicircular closure and shows a wall treatment formed by Corinthian pilasters. These carry a cornice that forms the transition to the flat ceiling. Pulpit in neo-Gothic shapes. Organ with main work and upper work, made in 1847 by JC Scheuer. Scheuer used the wind chest and pipework of the old organ, which was made in 1786 by A. van Gruisen.

Built as a Mennonite Church. Small hall church without a tower.

This important, beautiful church building without a tower is almost entirely built into an (irregular) residential block. Of the exterior (unless the church is open) only something can be seen at the back. In 1588, during the years of the restoration of the Spanish rule in Deventer, the Catholic merchant and mayor Macharius Penninck bought the hereditary property of the noble family Swaefken between Brink and Spijkerboorsteeg. The showpiece facade was probably built in 1597. A new "city palace" was built on the site of the old buildings.

Mennonite church with extensions. The church has a neck gable dated 1857; heavily framed entrance. On either side service buildings under a saddle roof with a shield in front and behind and chimneys above. Six-pane windows. Cast iron fence along the church grounds. Pavement posts of the service buildings. Single manual organ, made in 1881 by Bakker and Timmenga.

Charming hall church from 1878 in neo.

Mennonite church, because of the originally two-manual organ, built in 1855 by GW Lohman from Groningen. In 1866 modified by P. van Oeckelen from Harenermolen and extended with a free pedal. In 1983 and later years restored in phases.
