Former Restored Apostolic Church. Interesting church building in the style of the "Amsterdam School". The organ was built in 1886 by J. van Gelder (Leiden) for the Reformed Church on the Bazarlaan in The Hague. In 1981 it was moved to this church by Flentrop Organ Building.
National monument 34068 St..Martinus, 1869-1871, PJHCuypers. Three-aisled cruciform basilica, of which the nave has remained unfinished. Rectangular pillars with bevelled corners and moulded capitals. Triforium and round windows in the clerestory. The transept gables are resolved into climbing series of lancet windows. Cross-ribbed vaults. The buttresses of the side aisles are bricked inwards. The interior is treated as fairwork in various colours of brick and has largely retained the furnishing by the Cuypers-Stoltzenberg studio. Organ with main work, swell work and free pedal, made in 1891 by the Maarschalkerweerd company from Utrecht. Mechanical tower clock, first quarter of the 20th century, manual and electric winding possible.
Mennonite Church. Neoclassical hall church, built in 1842 to plans by PJ Rollema. Front facade with an entrance with round arch windows, four Doric pilasters, a Doric frieze and a triangular gable field. The windows in the side facades have, remarkably enough, the pointed arch shape. The interior has a semicircular closure and shows a wall treatment formed by Corinthian pilasters. These carry a cornice that forms the transition to the flat ceiling. Pulpit in neo-Gothic shapes. Organ with main work and upper work, made in 1847 by JC Scheuer. Scheuer used the wind chest and pipework of the old organ, which was made in 1786 by A. van Gruisen.
Reformed Church. Three-aisled late Gothic church, initially built against a Romanesque west section, which collapsed in 1681 and was then replaced by a three-sided closure. Roof renewed in 1709; bell dome 1709. On the south side 16th century sacristy, with panelling and ceiling 1759; accessible through Gothic door. Interior: pulpit 1626. Coats of arms. The bell by S.
