Modern church, built on the site of the older Orthodox Reformed Chapel, which was demolished in 1963.
Grootegast, NL
Reformed Good Shepherd Church in Grootegast from 1958. Important late work in the oeuvre of Egbert Reitsma (1892-1976), designed in collaboration with his son LH Reitsma. Large, octagonal hall church with a tent roof in the form of a central construction. On the left in front of the church is a freestanding, openwork bell tower. Typologically rare in Reformed church architecture due to the application of the pure central construction form.

Alphen aan den Rijn, NL
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.
