This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

On 11 December 1913, 'De Gereformeerde Kerk te Nieuwlande' was instituted. On 8 June 1914, the first stone was laid and in August of that year 'Eben Haëzer' was put into use. The well-known reformed resistance fighter Johannes Post hid people in hiding in this church during the Second World War. The hiding place can still be seen. The Stichting Het Drentse Landschap will investigate whether the church can be preserved in some way. Nieuwlande played a special role in the war and received a Yad Vashem award for it. Of course, Nieuwlande wants to keep that past alive. 'The new destination for the reformed church in the village can play an important role in this'. It is not without reason that the church is located on the Johannes Poststraat.

An old school building was purchased to hold church services there. After initially only holding services during the week, it was decided in 1962 to hold Sunday church services. From 30 June 1963, church services were held in the 'Hervormd jeugdgebouw' on the Beekweg in Ermelo. This is more centrally located for visitors. In 1970, the decision was made to have a church building built on the Hanengewei. The church building was officially put into use by the congregation on 2 July 1971. In 1984, it was decided to build a new building and to use the existing church building as a meeting room. On 19 December 1985, the church building was put into use, with 500 seats.

Eberbach Abbey is an incredibly well preserved 12th-century Gothic abbey. The monastery operated from its establishment in 1136 to 1803 (prohibition of monastic communities in the Holy Roman Empire). The building now houses a cultural foundation and the abbey museum traces the history of the abbey and the Cistercian order. Eberbach is also today the largest wine estate in Germany.
