Drachten, NL
The Mennonite Meeting House dating from 1790 and its associated side rooms were restored and renovated in 2007. The old entrance with the large doors is now the main entrance again. Inside, everything is so flexibly arranged that the building can have a multifunctional purpose. (60-08/61-09)
