Built as a Reformed Church. Three-aisled pseudo-basilica with tower from 1870. The exterior shows a very eclectic round arch style with remarkably shaped buttresses.

Little remains of the original interior. Organ from 1873 by P. Flaes, extended in 1986 by Scheuerman & Zoon (Rotterdam) with a free pedal.

Katwijk aan den Rijn, NL
The Dutch Reformed Meeting Church at Nieuwe Duinweg 64 stands on the same spot as the wooden emergency church. That wooden Meeting Church was an old Zuiderzee barracks that moved to Katwijk in 1954. In 1961, the chapel was destroyed by a tornado. The new Meeting Church by architects Kraan and van Nieuwkoop was built on the same spot. A photo of the old Zuiderzee barracks hangs in the hall of the church. And on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of this congregation, a commemorative book was published in 2004.
