Martinikerk

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.

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.

Built as Christian Reformed Church (CGK). Hall church in sober neo-Romanesque style, with round arch windows and a small bell pylon above the front facade. Damaged by fire in 1966, after which it was restored in a modified, more sober form. Since January 2005, the Reformed Church (GKV) has also been holding church services here. In 2008, the church was temporarily out of use due to renovations. The CGK and the GKV began discussions in 1992. A joint church service was held for the first time in September 2002. In 2004, the Reformed Church was able to sell its building profitably to the Fries Scheepvaartmuseum next door. And since 1 January 2005, both have been using the CGK building. Initially, there were separate morning services and joint afternoon services. But soon all services were held jointly and the federation was formed on 1 January 2007. On November 23, 2008, the first church service was held in the fully restored and renovated Chr. Geref. Church. The restored church was officially put into use on Saturday, February 28, 2009. The so-called White Church, built in 1907 and rebuilt after a fire in 1966, is the permanent home of the CGKV church. During the restoration, church services were held in the former youth hostel De Wigledam on the Oude Oppenhuizerweg, behind the former Kingfabriek. (53-05/54-05/57-07/61-09) Dbb.
