Eben Haëzerkerk

On 11 December 1913, 'De Gereformeerde Kerk te Nieuwlande' was instituted. On 8 June 1914, the first stone was laid and in August of that year 'Eben Haëzer' was put into use. The well-known reformed resistance fighter Johannes Post hid people in hiding in this church during the Second World War. The hiding place can still be seen. The Stichting Het Drentse Landschap will investigate whether the church can be preserved in some way. Nieuwlande played a special role in the war and received a Yad Vashem award for it. Of course, Nieuwlande wants to keep that past alive. 'The new destination for the reformed church in the village can play an important role in this'. It is not without reason that the church is located on the Johannes Poststraat.
