Alphen aan den Rijn, NL
The previous wooden church became too small and was replaced in 1904 by this larger stone church designed by J. Hengeveld. A hall church with a stepped gable, gable turret and neo-renaissance diamond caps. The church served as a Reformed church until 1965 and was then sold and transferred to the Old Reformed Church in Alphen aan den Rijn. The Old Reformed Church had originated as a Free Old Reformed Church and joined the Federation of Old Reformed Churches in the Netherlands in 1946. The church met many times in a 'hall' in the centre of old Alphen. In the 1960s, the church was forced by the government to move due to the construction of a shopping centre. As a result, the former Reformed church was purchased. In the year of purchase, the new Reformed Good Shepherd Church was put into use. The church community needed a larger church building, because membership increased sharply as large new housing estates were built north of the Rhine.
