This important, beautiful church building without a tower is almost entirely built into an (irregular) residential block. Of the exterior (unless the church is open) only something can be seen at the back. In 1588, during the years of the restoration of the Spanish rule in Deventer, the Catholic merchant and mayor Macharius Penninck bought the hereditary property of the noble family Swaefken between Brink and Spijkerboorsteeg. The showpiece facade was probably built in 1597. A new "city palace" was built on the site of the old buildings.

Hall church in neo-Romanesque style without tower. Out of use as a church building NPB 1948. Then in use as a church of the Mennonite Community. The roof turret, present on the old black and white image, disappeared decades ago.

Interesting reconstruction building. Built to replace a synagogue from 1890. The synagogue is situated on its own on the south-east side of the Paslaan in the part east of the Kerklaan. Here the building is situated on its own terrain that is separated from the pavement by an associated fence. In the street there are several other (partly) detached objects, mainly dating from the 19th century, next to and opposite the synagogue.

In 1996, the beautiful church from 1853 was demolished because it had become too expensive to maintain. The adjacent buildings, which were also owned by the Mennonite Community, were then restored and converted into a new church.
