Leerdam, NL
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. After the work was completed, the entire interior of the building was repainted. The extension on the right-hand side dates from 1991-1992.
