Built as a Reformed Church in 1905. At that time it was a neo-Gothic church with a roof turret. In 1935 this church was renovated. Under the leadership of architect GJ van der Top the church was extensively renovated in 1959 and it looked like a new church, including a new small tower. In 1986 a youth cellar, a hall and a church council room were added. Between August and November 2002 the hall was greatly enlarged by filling the space between the church and the rectory. (49-03)

Former stew, now out of use. The local Reformed Church was founded in 1878. In 1895 a new church building was put into use.

In the middle of the village of Een at Hoofdstraat no. 16 is the church center "De Edenhof". This church building was founded by the members of the original Reformed Church. The church in Een was founded on January 19, 1845. From 1845 to 1869 the name of this church was: Christian separated community of Een. Then until 1892 it was: "Christian Reformed Church of Een". From 1892 until the merger with Veenhuizen and Norg in 1974 the name was "Reformed Church of Een". On December 14, 2003 the church continued as Protestant Community of Een-Norg-Veenhuizen. The building dates from 1928. The following text can be read in stone above the church door: '1878 - Lord, I love the dwelling of your house - 1928'. In 1938 a very heavy storm raged over Een. The church suffered considerable damage. A horizontal crack appeared in the southern wall that ran over almost the entire length. The roof suffered considerable damage. That is why the church council of 1938 decided on a major reconstruction. The roof was reinforced and the existing narrow buttresses were replaced by sturdy buttresses. The project cost € 908.60. During the war years 1940-1945 a shelter for people in hiding was built under the floor of the church. In 1962 the church was expanded with a number of halls: the so-called "Youth Building". In 1983 a completely new organ was installed by BAG organ builders in Enschede. The old organ stood on the gallery. The gallery has pews. The colours of the pews are dark red. There are approximately 60 seats. The year 2000 was a new starting point for the “Youth Building”. It was renovated again and expanded with a kitchen and youth centre and was given the name “De Edenhof”. The church building was also called “De Edenhof” and was completely renovated in 2008/2009. The wooden floor was replaced by a concrete floor with heating and covered with hard-baked tiles. The benches were replaced by chairs. Rows of six chairs are placed on either side of the central aisle. The liturgical centre/stage was enlarged and the new pulpit is movable. The liturgical table, like the pulpit, is made of solid white oak. Noteworthy is the scroll made of wood that hangs on the left side of the liturgical centre. The names of the children who were baptised in the past year or the names of the church members who have died are written on it. The baptismal font consists of natural stone with a ground hollow and has four supports. The church offers space for ± 200 persons and is equipped with modern sound equipment.

There has been a church on this site before . This church was last used on 27 May 1934 and then demolished by the parishioners. On 7 November 1934, the current church was put into use. The opening service took place on 16 January 1935.

Interesting interbellum church with tower. Right next to the earlier small church, which is still there.

The (old) Reformed Church of Beekbergen is one of the oldest Reformed Churches in the Netherlands. In 1835, the year after the secession, a meeting was held in Apeldoorn, attended by various representatives from Lieren and Oosterhuizen. The pastor was Rev. Brummelman from Hattem, who strongly stimulated the secession in the East Veluwe. The secession was preceded by house meetings. These were meetings of members of the State Church, the Dutch Reformed Church, who were concerned about the freedom of doctrine. In 1840, the seceded church of Apeldoorn, or rather the church of Apeldoorn-Noord, received a minister: Rev. Poppe de Wit. He also served as minister for Beekbergen and Teuge. In 1849 it was decided to build a church building on the Tullekensmolenweg, at no. 106. This was put into use on 21 April 1850. There were 150 seats in this building. The church budget in 1851 was f 356.21. The minister's salary in 1854 was f 225.--. On 31 July 1853 the congregation of Beekbergen received its first minister, namely candidate M. Sipkes.
