The Reformed Church (GKV) in Rotterdam Centrum is an interesting example of post-war reconstruction architecture. Although the building originally served as a GKV church, it is now known as the "Simonstraatkerk". It is a modernist church without a tower and is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings. In 2017, the church was restored, renovated and refurbished. Despite its inconspicuous appearance, the building has architecturally significant details that are characteristic of the post-war reconstruction period. It is a valuable piece of architecture that reflects the history and development of Rotterdam. During the restoration and renovation of the church, the GKV services were temporarily held in the Christian Reformed Rehoboth Church on the Noordsingel. This was a practical solution to provide the religious community with a place to live while their own church building was being renovated. It is interesting to see how this church, amidst modern high-rise buildings, has found and maintained its place in the city centre of Rotterdam. It emphasises the importance of preserving historically and architecturally valuable buildings in a constantly developing city.

Characteristic Tjeerd Kuipers church with tower. Built as a Reformed Church. Expansion of the church in 1918-1919, also under the leadership of Tj. Kuipers. The church has been used by the Reformed Church (Liberated) since 1945, and was renovated again in 1948. Around 1998, the church was renovated on the inside. During this renovation, the organ console was raised. This created extra space under the church hall (the church is located on a rampart, which means that there is a considerable difference in height between the front and back of the church hall) where extra meeting space was created.

In 1854, a new building was put into use north of the Winschoterdiep, which, in addition to the synagogue, also housed a school, a meeting room and a teacher's house.

Interesting Reformed church building without tower. Church building under construction from 1898. In 1940 provided with a second gallery. The building was renovated in 1980. In 2000 a major renovation was carried out on the stained glass. This was completely removed and replaced after restoration. During the work the bridge rods also turned out to be rotten and the outer walls between the windows were also in such a poor condition that they also had to be repaired.
