Heilige Lebuïnus / Broederenkerk

Historic monastery church with roof turret in the centre of Deventer. Now the central Roman Catholic parish church of Deventer and its immediate surroundings.

Doopsgezinde Kerk

This important, beautiful church building without a tower is almost entirely built into an (irregular) residential block. Of the exterior (unless the church is open) only something can be seen at the back. In 1588, during the years of the restoration of the Spanish rule in Deventer, the Catholic merchant and mayor Macharius Penninck bought the hereditary property of the noble family Swaefken between Brink and Spijkerboorsteeg. The showpiece facade was probably built in 1597. A new "city palace" was built on the site of the old buildings.

Leger des Heils

In 1957, the Salvation Army Foundation had meeting rooms built based on a design by J. van der Horst and AA Oosterman from Emmen.
