Renatakerk

The current St. Jacobus de Meerderekerk was built in 1932-'33 to replace the previous church from 1862 , which was demolished due to dilapidation. The church is designed as a central building with a dome, according to the guidelines of the so-called liturgical movement (improved visibility of the altar), on a so-called Christocentric floor plan (choir at the intersection of nave and transept). The church is considered a highlight in the oeuvre of Hendrik W. Valk (1886-1973) and is one of the most important Roman Catholic church buildings built in the first half of the twentieth century. Stylistically, there is a transition to a more traditionalist building style, in this case strongly influenced by oriental and Byzantine forms. The monumental inventory was created shortly after construction (including windows and Stations of the Cross by Ch. Eyck and J. ten Horn; altars from Brom and Nicolas studios). See the description below from the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands and images.

The Vredeskerk was built in 1953 by order of the board of churchwardens of the Dutch Reformed Church in Enschede. The design of the church is by the architect WK de Wijs junior and senior and architect J. Jans in Hengelo. The building consists of two rectangular volumes that together form an L-shaped floor plan. The west-oriented building section houses the actual church, consisting of a hall church with a small extension on the north side that accommodates the consistory.
