Evangelical Lutheran CHURCH. Characteristic building (19th century) on an approximately square plan, covered by three parallel hipped roofs behind the higher front facade, which has a central section with a pediment and plastered side wings with entrances. The round-arched windows and doors give the building a somewhat neo-Romanesque character. On the roof a domed tower. The church has a late 18th century pulpit, originating from the Mennonite church of Deventer. Domed tower with clock by Petit and Fritsen?, 1880?, diam. 66 cm.

Eindhoven, NL
Interesting modern church with roof turret in the southwestern part of the city Gestel. Built as Dutch Reformed church, but from the beginning also used for separate Reformed church services, later joint celebrations. Shortly afterwards, the Reformed Church built the Emmaus church in Woensel "in return", for both Reformed and Protestants. Since 2004, the Advent church has been a church building of the merged PKN congregation Eindhoven. This church is very similar to the Marcus church in Utrecht, built a few years earlier and also very interesting, by the same architect.
