Filadelfia Kapel

Replaced a church from 1926.

This was/is a reorganized department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

In Kollumerzwaag a Mennonite community was founded between 1600 and 1620. At the beginning of the 19th century this community declined and was threatened with dissolution. Around 1816 the Vermaning was demolished and rebuilt in 1816 in Zwaagwesteinde. There was not a single church there at the time. After the death of Rev. Bosma the community ceased to exist in 1844. The Vermaning was sold and converted into a smithy. Later it became two workers' houses and in 1934 family doctor Noordhof bought the old Vermaning, had it demolished and built his doctor's house on the foundation.
