Protestantse Gemeente te Oss, Paaskerk

Protestantse Gemeente te Oss, Paaskerk

Oss, NL

On April 2, 1966, the church building was inaugurated as a new Reformed Church. The church replaced the older church in the centre of Oss, which was demolished after the move. Around 1978 the old church of the Reformed congregation on the Burgemeester Van den Elzenlaan in Oss had become too small and people started using the building of the Reformed congregation. A few years later, in 1980, a second church building was built behind the existing Reformed church building for the Reformed congregation. A few years later, only joint church services were held. In 1989 the Reformed Church and the Reformed Church federated. In addition, the church building was given the name Paaskerk and the annex has since been called Pentecost mound. In the years that followed, a new entrance and entrance hall were built that connected the two buildings. The non-oriented church building is a modern church in the style of post-war modernism. It has an eight-sided ground plan from which a quarter has been cut. In the centre is a tower of metal columns with a belfry. Inside, the building consists of two rooms next to the entrance, with the second room being used for smaller services.

In the interior a wooden barrel vault with tie rods and on cove, the ribs resting on consoles with decorative carvings; hexagonal pulpit and rear bulkhead with Gothic decorations from 1864, organ balcony on three simple wooden columns; wainscoting, gentlemen's pews and general pew plan made of wood; two late 19th-century psalm and hymn boards; two twelve-arm copper crowns from the construction period with tronies on the inside. At the entrance to the church two memorial stones from 1849 and 1887. Intact single-manual organ, made in 1857 by H. Knipscheer from Amsterdam.

In 1956, a new Mennonite Church was built in Amsterdam-Slotermeer at Arthur van Schendelstraat 17. The building was designed by Karel Sijmons.

In 1969, the church building was sold to the Reformed Church Slotervaart/Osdorp, who took over the building including the organ. It was then named De Olijftak. In 1993, the church was closed for worship. The organ was sold to the Reformed Church in Sirjansland in 1996. De Olijftak has been in use as a Moroccan mosque since 2000. The organ was moved to Sirjansland by the firm Pels & Van Leeuwen. The organ was put into use on 11 February 1996. The organ was not changed during the move. However, the front was decorated with several wooden ornaments.
