From the outside, this type of church, also in Munnekezijl, has a robust brick appearance, usually with a tower rising from the facade. Organ from 1920 by the Gebr. Rohlfing (Osnabrück). This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Puttershoek, NL
Built as a Reformed Church. Modern hall church with a detached tower, containing 3 bells. Weekend 4-5 February 2023, 2 bells were stolen from the tower, probably in the night from Saturday to Sunday. The Reformed Church on Rembrandtstraat (1962, A. van den Broek) was renovated on the inside in 2003-2004 and put back into use on April 25, 2004. A stained glass window was made. And a painting was placed in a corner of the church. On the left of the painting, the names of the deceased are written in a book and on the right is the book for the names of those being baptized. (At the moment, the names of the deceased are still in the minority, but that can change). In the middle of the painting, people are depicted on their way to "eternity".
