Leger des Heils

This church stood on the part of the Zoutsloot that was filled in 1946 and renamed William Boothstraat in 1955. A Mennonite orphanage had stood on the site of this church since 1643. It is unclear whether this church was newly built or whether the old orphanage was renovated.

Grote Kerk

Reformed Church. The Reformed Church was built in 1772-1776 on a cruciform plan, replacing a Romanesque church, of which the tall tuff stone tower was preserved. Three natural stone entrance frames. Interior completely plastered to a design by JOHusley; in one of the walls at the top a clock face framed by stucco. Circulating gallery on marble columns; on the corners groups of benches. Organ with Hoofdwerk, Rugwerk and free Pedal, made in 1776 by AA Hinsz on gallery with associated pulpit below, all with carvings by JG Hempel. Many gravestones.

Doopsgezinde Kerk

In 1996, the beautiful church from 1853 was demolished because it had become too expensive to maintain. The adjacent buildings, which were also owned by the Mennonite Community, were then restored and converted into a new church.
