Reconstruction church with small tower. Reformed church until 2004, then Continued Reformed Church. As in six other local Reformed church communities, the members of the congregation in Garderen did not want to merge with the Protestant Church of the Netherlands (PKN), which was officially established in 2004. They wanted to remain independent. Since 2004, this church has therefore been called the "Continued Reformed Church". As of January 1, 2016, this is no longer a Continued Reformed Church, but a "regular" Reformed church. And in 2017, this congregation joined the PKN.
