Opstandingskerk

On February 25, 1960, the first pile was driven for the Reformed Church of the Resurrection on Lisplein. A design by MCA Meischke, who also designed the Reformed Church at the Technikon, the Scottish Church, the Mormon Church on Jacques Perkstraat and a -now demolished- Reformed Church in Hoogvliet. The building has recently been partly used as a meeting place for residents of the Liskwartier: the Torentuin. With a café, shared office space and the occasional performance.
