Jaca Cathedral is one of the most characteristic and oldest cathedrals of Romanesque architecture in Spain. It was built almost simultaneously with the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, in the last quarter of the 11th century. During the decade of the 1520s of the 16th century, some additions were made, such as the vaults of the side naves in late Gothic style, and the façades of new chapels. In 1598, the vault of the central nave was built and the windows were opened. At the end of the 18th century, two of the three Romanesque apses were demolished and two new ones were built.

On Saturday 11 May 2002, the foundation stone was laid for the new church of the Reformed Church, designed by architect Valk in Soest. The church has 1800 seats. There is also a central meeting room, a consistory room, five meeting rooms, a mortuary and the necessary facilities such as a kitchen. The church replaces the older church from 1981 at Julianastraat 23, which had become too small and for safety reasons could only accommodate a maximum of 600 churchgoers. Centrum De Rank, the previous church from 1959, also became too small. The old building with 1200 seats at Julianastraat was purchased by the contractor of the new church. On Thursday 17 April 2003, the Reformed Church put its new Jachin and Boaz church at Taghof 3 into use. The first plans for this date back to 1995. On 18 February 2004, a new organ was put into use, built by the Hendriksen & Reitsma company. The old organ from the old church was used as a starting point. This has been extensively and thoroughly restored. In the autumn of 2005 and January 2006, the old complex of church hall and ancillary rooms on Julianastraat was demolished. The vacant space will be used for apartments and a medical centre for two general practitioners and a pharmacy. (48-02/50-03/52-04/55-06)

The Reformed Church and the Reformed Church in Drogeham, Friesland, merged on 12 December to form the Protestant Church of Drogeham. The reunification takes place after a separation of 175 years. Drogeham was one of the first churches to join the Secession. The Secession began in 1834 in Ulrum under the leadership of Rev. H. de Cock. In 1835, Doeveren and Genderen (Rev. HP Scholte) followed, and in 1835 Hattem (Rev. A. Brummelkamp), Almkerk (Rev. GF Gezelle Meerburg) and Drogeham (Rev. S. van Velzen). The merged church has approximately 900 members.

The Jacobikerk was mentioned for the first time in 1173. The current building was built at the end of the 13th century. The church was enlarged in phases between 1330 and 1460 to accommodate the ever-growing population. The tower was finally built around 1400. In 1580, the church became definitely Protestant.

This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
