Church building in the shape of a Greek cross built in clean brickwork under saddle roofs covered with grey clay tiles. Front facade (O) with a central risalit that suggests a three-aisled church.

In the recessed part of the facade and the chapel several round arch windows. In the risalit an entrance under a round arch, above which a very large round arch window with stained glass is placed.

Interesting interbellum church with a tower placed on the side. Built as the Dutch Reformed Church. This church building looks very much like the (still existing) Dutch Reformed New Church in Huizen.

Nieuwe Kerk

Rijswijk, NL

Interesting modern church with tower. Built in 1965 as the Reformed Church "Light of the World" in the then new Steenvoorde district. Hall church with ancillary rooms on a partly elliptical floor plan and built in sober, partly sculptural forms, visible in the slightly curved and asymmetrically designed tower facade. Characteristic and monumental, so-called glass appliqué wall by J. Vegter from the construction period. It was decided that the Reformed Light of the World Church, built in 1965 by LP van der Gaag, would become the PKN church for that district. A new name for the church was also sought. The choice fell on "New Church". On October 10, 2004, the first celebration took place after the church was redesigned. The Dutch Reformed Reconciliation Church in this district was decommissioned around that time and converted into a health center, almost unrecognizably. Since October 2004, the Protestant Community of Rijswijk has only used the Old Church (historic village church) in addition to this New Church.
