Church and hall complex from 1952, designed by B. van Heyningen and B. Uyterlinde, built for the Reformed Church of Rotterdam-Centrum, to replace the Nieuwe Oosterkerk that was destroyed in 1940.

Semi-detached openwork concrete tower. Modernised liturgical centre, pew plan from the construction period. Since around 1967, the Reformed Church in the Netherlands held services in the Reformed Nieuwe Oosterkerk, even after the sale of this church building to the Pentecostal Church of Capelle aan den IJssel in 1981. This church was founded after the ecclesiastical schism of 1953 in the Reformed Church, in which around 100 members and baptised members from the local Reformed Church transferred to this church association. This department of the Reformed Church in the Netherlands was abolished in 1999.

The Protestant Nikodemuskirche was built in 1912-1913 by Fritz Gottlob. It is a synthesis of neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau elements, which already hint at the beginning of modernism. During an Allied air raid on 26 February 1945, the church burned down completely, but the church hall was spared. Reconstruction began in 1954. The Nikodemuskirche is a cultural church, with many concerts and exhibitions taking place in the premises and the choir.

The construction of the Nikolai Church began shortly after the foundation of the city, around 1242. In the 14th century, the church was rebuilt according to the model of St. Peter's Church in Lübeck. In 1486, it was burnt down by lightning and rebuilt. At the beginning of the 16th century, the tower was integrated into the building by adding the Town Hall Chapel and the Rantzau Chapel. In the years 1877-1884, the church was redesigned in neo-gothic style and received a new facade. During World War II, the church building was severely damaged during an Allied air raid on May 22, 1944. The reconstruction was carried out in 1950 by the architect Gerhard Langmaack.
