Heilige Henricus

Early December 1903, the former Roman Catholic church of St. Henricus was consecrated. The church and rectory were built at the point where the Scholtenskanaal flows into the Van Echtenskanaal. Because the foundation and the floor showed defects, a new church was built on the Stellingstraat in 1964. When the new St. Henricuskerk was put into use, the organ from the old church was moved to the new one. It was not a success. The organ was clearly too small for the much larger church. In April 2005, a second organ was placed in the St. Henricuskerk. It came from the (closed as a Roman Catholic church) Christus Koningkerk in The Hague. The organ was officially put into use on 18 December 2005. (51-04/54-05/55-06)

Kruiskerk

Dutch Reformed Church, called Kruiskerk, with attached consistory and youth building, built in 1957-1963 by order of the Church Council of the Dutch Reformed Community of Klazienaveen to a design by the Amsterdam architect H. Knijtijzer. The church's bell tower is situated in a defining position in the axis of the Van Echtenstraat. In 1955 Knijtijzer had designed the Dutch Reformed school and in 1957 the youth building. In 1959 Knijtijzer complemented the composition of school, youth building with the church. In 1966 the school had plans to expand. However, the school board found it unnecessary to bring in an architect from Amsterdam for a small expansion and asked the local architect J. van de Heiden. Knijtijzer did not agree with the design.
