Renkum, NL
This reformed church on the Utrechtseweg in Renkum was put into use on 8 August 1928. The first stone had been laid the year before, on 2 December 1927. The building served as a replacement for a church from 1889 on the Molenweg. Design sketches date back to 1925 and were published as intended for a church in nearby Oosterbeek. It is likely that this is the same church. These sketches were much more daring and are much more in line with the expressive Amsterdam School than the final result. Due to war damage, the building is no longer original in all places and some additions have been made to the rear.
