In the Neerbosch Oost district. Interesting, sober modern church. In 2015 the 50th anniversary of the Good Shepherd parish was celebrated.

Modern church without tower. Replaced a small church from 1889 on the Rustenburgsweg.

Nice hall church with characteristic roof turret, on which the weather vane "The Good Shepherd" can be seen. Out of use as a Reformed Church in 1980, then in use as a Christian Reformed Church, which then left its older church building on Floresstraat. Renovated and expanded with ancillary rooms in 2007.

The Goede Herderkerk was built in 1965, based on designs by W. Ingwersen of the architectural firm C. van der Bom and W. Ingwersen. The church strongly resembles Ingwersen's design for the Maranathakerk in Nijmegen from 1963. The church is characterised by its almost expressionistically upward-reaching corner spire. There is a freestanding bell tower. The walls are very thick and have slot and slit windows.

Built as Dutch Reformed Church. Interesting modern church building.

Built as Dutch Reformed Church. Characteristic Protestant church with roof turret.

The Good Shepherd Church was designed in 1937-38 by architect Egbert Reitsma. It is a fine example of the expressionist Amsterdam School.

The church in Goingarijp is one of the churches with its own clock chair. That makes the church special - even if the clock chair was often a choice of poverty. The stained glass windows are a special attraction for the many (water sports) tourists who visit this church.

The Gol church, designed by architect Henrik Nissen, was completed in 1882, after the former Stave church in the city had to give way and was moved to Bygdøy kongsgard, in the area that is now the Oslo Folk Museum. The former Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments, which was responsible for the moving of the stave church operation, donated the old building to King Oscar II.

The Gol Stave Church dates back to around 1200. Since 1884 the church has been owned by the ruling monarch in Norway since Oscar II (1872 - 1907) moved it to its open-air museum. It has four copies, two in Norway and two in the United States. The church is now a part of the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History.
