Oudewater, NL
Modern church building without tower, built as a Reformed Church. In 2005 this became the church of the Protestant Community of Oudewater (PGO), after a merger between the local Reformed Church and the Dutch Reformed sub-community "De Biezen", which until then had used its own "church centre". The Grote of St. Michaëlskerk in Oudewater has remained a separate Reformed community, with a Reformed Bond signature, which is separate from the PGO.
