Small reconstruction church with tower, put into use as a Reformed Church in 1958. In use as such until 1972.

Three-aisled neo-Gothic pseudo-basilica with front tower, designed by G. te Riele. Stylistically influenced by the late Lower Rhine Gothic and by the work of A. Tepe. In 1933 drastically changed and expanded with a new transept and choir by J. Haket. On the choir tribune provided with letter panels a single-manual organ from 1900, made by Ludwig Schwarze (1858-1925) from Anholt. In the period January to June 2005 the church (1895, G. te Riele) was restored. The chancel in particular has been changed and is now much more functionally furnished. This means that the church can be given a multifunctional purpose, such as a concert hall. (54-05)

He shared this aim with Joseph Cuypers and Jan Stuyt. The church contains stained glass windows from 1912 by Frans Nicolas and sons Charles and Francois, from 1953 by Joep Nicolas, from 1963 by Sylvia Nicolas and from 1977 by Jan Schoenaker.

Nice little church, designed after Greek Orthodox churches, but with Dutch unpainted brick material. This Greek Orthodox church was built in Rotterdam in 1957. The church, which is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, is an important symbol for the Greek community in the Netherlands. The construction of the church was a long process. Shortly after the Second World War, the Association of Greeks in the Netherlands started a fundraising campaign to finance the construction. The Greek community in the Netherlands was still small at the time, but the need for its own church was great. The church was designed by the Dutch architects ir De Jongh, Taen and dr ir Thomas Nix. The design was inspired by Byzantine architecture, which plays an important role in the Greek Orthodox tradition. The church has a cross-shaped floor plan and is built of brick. The facade is decorated with a mosaic of Saint Nicholas. The construction of the church was completed in 1957 and was consecrated by the Greek Metropolitan Damaskinos of Chios. The church has since become an important centre for the Greek community in the Netherlands. Here Greeks from all over the Netherlands come together to pray, celebrate and meet each other.

The St. Norbertus parish was founded on 24 June 1980.

Castermans consecrated the church on 15 June 1986.
