Ontmoetingskerk

The Reformed Church in Nieuw-Lekkerland is the biggest and oldest church in the town. It was built in 1848, but historians are sure that there has been another church before. The architect of the current church was D. Slingerland.

Village church

Church building, because of the organ, a pulpit, a baptismal fence and a pew in it. The church building was built in 1847-1848 to a design by D. Slingerland from Meerkerk on the site of an older predecessor. The church was expanded several times in later times, most recently in 1994, when the layout in the church was changed. The inventory mentioned is partly from the predecessor of the current church, which dates from 1646 and was built on the site of a burnt-down church from the 15th century. The organ and the pew were added in the 19th century by order of the lords of the manor Smit from Nieuw-Lekkerland. In addition to the parts that are worthy of protection by the state, the church building also contains five 17th-century gravestones, three copper church crowns, which have been modified and partly renewed, and 12 cast-iron wall fixtures (1881). The protection does not apply to these parts.
