In the middle of the village of Een at Hoofdstraat no. 16 is the church center "De Edenhof". This church building was founded by the members of the original Reformed Church. The church in Een was founded on January 19, 1845. From 1845 to 1869 the name of this church was: Christian separated community of Een. Then until 1892 it was: "Christian Reformed Church of Een". From 1892 until the merger with Veenhuizen and Norg in 1974 the name was "Reformed Church of Een". On December 14, 2003 the church continued as Protestant Community of Een-Norg-Veenhuizen. The building dates from 1928. The following text can be read in stone above the church door: '1878 - Lord, I love the dwelling of your house - 1928'. In 1938 a very heavy storm raged over Een. The church suffered considerable damage. A horizontal crack appeared in the southern wall that ran over almost the entire length. The roof suffered considerable damage. That is why the church council of 1938 decided on a major reconstruction. The roof was reinforced and the existing narrow buttresses were replaced by sturdy buttresses. The project cost € 908.60. During the war years 1940-1945 a shelter for people in hiding was built under the floor of the church. In 1962 the church was expanded with a number of halls: the so-called "Youth Building". In 1983 a completely new organ was installed by BAG organ builders in Enschede. The old organ stood on the gallery. The gallery has pews. The colours of the pews are dark red. There are approximately 60 seats. The year 2000 was a new starting point for the “Youth Building”. It was renovated again and expanded with a kitchen and youth centre and was given the name “De Edenhof”. The church building was also called “De Edenhof” and was completely renovated in 2008/2009. The wooden floor was replaced by a concrete floor with heating and covered with hard-baked tiles. The benches were replaced by chairs. Rows of six chairs are placed on either side of the central aisle. The liturgical centre/stage was enlarged and the new pulpit is movable. The liturgical table, like the pulpit, is made of solid white oak. Noteworthy is the scroll made of wood that hangs on the left side of the liturgical centre. The names of the children who were baptised in the past year or the names of the church members who have died are written on it. The baptismal font consists of natural stone with a ground hollow and has four supports. The church offers space for ± 200 persons and is equipped with modern sound equipment.

This was a small Reformed church hall. Possibly to replace the Funenkerk. Perhaps also the Boomslootkerk. Those 2 churches have been demolished.
