Vestingkerk
Hellevoetsluis, NL
Dutch Reformed Church. Simple hall church built in 1661 with arched windows and a tiled hipped roof all around. Slender brick tower, the upper part decorated with three round-arched niches in each facade and crowned by an octagonal wooden bell dome. Restored around 1965, when the original hipped roof was re-applied and the church regained its flat ceiling with beams on corbels. The inventory includes a pulpit with a copper lectern, a baptismal fence with a precentor's lectern and four oak gentlemen's pews, all from the period of construction. A carved organ case, made in 1786 by J. Courtain for the Lutheran Church in Arnhem. Several 17th century gravestones.
