Breda, NL
Important "hidden church" without a tower. The Reformation began in 1517 with the nailing of Luther's theses to the door of the castle church of Wittenberg, but it was not until around 1566 that a Lutheran community was established in Breda. The community consisted largely of people of German descent. For a long time, they had a hidden church on the Nieuwstraat. In 1777, the community bought a house on the Veemarktstraat, called 'Repos Ailleurs'. It was a large house with a forecourt. In 1786, the Lutheran church was consecrated in the renovated mansion. Two houses had been built on the forecourt so that the house could only be reached through a gate from the Veemarktstraat. It is the only still functioning hidden church in Breda. In 1838, the church was thoroughly renovated. The pointed arch windows that are visible from the inner courtyard were also installed then. The church was restored in 1966-1967.
Heusden, NL
Late 18th century church, rebuilt after destruction by war in 1944. The Lutheran community and the Reformed Church of Heusden form a Protestant community as of 1 January 2010. Church services are now held alternately in the Lutheran church on Putterstraat and in the Reformed Church on Gasthuisstraat. No decisions have yet been taken about selling off one of the church buildings. And the Reformed Church, of Reformed Bond signature, does not (yet?) appear to be participating in the PKN.
