Baarn, NL
Until 1965, this church was simply called "Gereformeerde Kerk". A second Reformed church was named "Laanstraatkerk"; it was demolished in 1962. After the Opstandingskerk was put into use, early 1965, this older church was named "Kruiskerk". In 1965-1966, an internal renovation took place that was not very successful, including new pews and a new pulpit under the organ. Due to the demolition of the Opstandingskerk in 1995, the name of this older church was changed again to "Paaskerk". The symbolism in terms of naming over time is clear and logical. In 1995-1996, a more rigorous refurbishment and modernisation of the interior took place again, in which the visual axis on the liturgical centre was turned 180 degrees, so with the (maintained, good) organ at the back. The exterior of this church, in which the extension from 1904 can be reasonably distinguished, has remained almost completely intact and very interesting despite the various internal renovations.

Delfzijl, NL
Reformed church building, cruciform church with small spire. Even before the war, attempts were made to create a new church building to replace the existing Reformed church from 1859. A new rectory was the result, but the war prevented further plans. The originally desired high tower was not permitted. In the end, it became a small spire. The executing architectural firm was F. van der Laan from Delfzijl, who also designed the 22 narrow stained glass windows. The opening took place on 24 June 1953.
