Ontmoeting

Diemen, NL

Built as a Reformed Church, named Bethlehem Church. Beautifully situated, diagonally to the left behind the local Roman Catholic Church St. Petrus' Banden.

In the mid-2000s, this church building became the central church of the Protestant Church Diemen. This building was also named "De Ontmoeting". Despite major modernizations of the interior, the characteristic, interesting architecture by architect Boeyinga has remained largely intact.
