Jaca Cathedral

Jaca Cathedral

Jaca, ES

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.

Jachin en Boaz

Genemuiden, NL

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)
