After having used the White Church of the Liberal Reformed Church for many years, the Mennonite community opened its own church building in 1967.

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.

Wooden church(let) with roof turret. Converted former farm.

Mennonite church from 1838. The side walls are divided by lesenes, between which there is a semicircular closed window. It also has a framed entrance. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

In 1996, the beautiful church from 1853 was demolished because it had become too expensive to maintain. The adjacent buildings, which were also owned by the Mennonite Community, were then restored and converted into a new church.

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.

Hall church without tower.

Hall church from 1858. Renovation, including new facade, in 1968.

Interesting reconstruction building. Built to replace a synagogue from 1890. The synagogue is situated on its own on the south-east side of the Paslaan in the part east of the Kerklaan. Here the building is situated on its own terrain that is separated from the pavement by an associated fence. In the street there are several other (partly) detached objects, mainly dating from the 19th century, next to and opposite the synagogue.

Rather inconspicuous, but architecturally interesting, modern church without a tower.
