Originally Dutch Reformed Church. Since 1994 Dutch Reformed Church. Later PKN.

Dutch Reformed CHURCH, built in 1845 in a sober Waterstaat style. Worth mentioning is the driveway with tall lime trees.

Built as a Reformed church, replacing a temporary wooden church built in 1963. Sober modern building without a tower. Since 2005 also in use by the Christian community Bethanië. On Sunday 8 October 2006, the first service of the new Bethanië community was held in De Schakel. The community started small in Ureterp. Due to growth, they moved to Wijnjewoude and now a larger home has been found in Drachten. The community focuses mainly on people who live on the fringes of society. (57-07)

Modern church without tower.

Modern church without a tower in the Emmerhout district, with the former address De Dilgt 400.

The current organ was built by the firm DA Flentrop in 1959 for the Eudokia church in Enschede. It has been in De Schoof in Daarlerveen since 2002.

Rather inconspicuous modern church without tower, built 1983-1984. Before that, the Christian Reformed Community of Purmerend, founded on January 1, 1973, had various temporary shelters. Severely damaged by fire in October 2004. Restoration and expansion in 2006.

Large and extremely interesting former synagogue. In 1799, a synagogue was consecrated in what is now called the Schutstraat. This building was demolished in 1865-1866 and replaced by a new synagogue. During the Second World War, almost the entire Jewish population of Hoogeveen was arrested and deported to extermination camps via labor camps. The synagogue was plundered and damaged by the Germans in February 1944. In 1948, the building was sold and for many years it served as the Reformed Church Liberated (GKV), with the name Schutstraatkerk. The GKV redecorated the building on the inside, including the installation of an organ. In 1996, the GKV sold the building to the Baptist community, which named the former synagogue "De Schutse". It turns out that there are now three Baptist communities in Hoogeveen. The Schutse meets at Schutstraat 147. This is the former synagogue and former Reformed Church. (52-04/59-08)
