Characteristic Reformed church building, with tower. One of the many church buildings designed by the important Reformed architect Tjeerd Kuipers (1857-1942). Out of use as a Reformed Church in 1989. In use by the Christian community since 1990. Renovated in 1997. A floor was added, which meant that the original spatial effect of the interior was partly lost.

Well-maintained modern church without a tower (a small "refodome"). The former church building on the North side was built in 1924. The building was getting old and actually too small. A community building was built separately from the old church building from 1924. Behind and attached to it, this new church with 400 seats was built in 2005.

Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral is known to have been the site of almost all the coronations of the kings of France since the 11th century. It was here that Clovis, the first king of the Franks, was baptized at the turn of the 5th and 6th centuries, an event retrospectively considered to be the foundation of the French monarchy. The current Gothic cathedral was built from the 13th to 14th centuries, on a site where cathedrals have been built since the 5th century. The building was severely damaged during the First World War, but has been rebuilt and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991.

The Rein Church is a cruciform church from 1932. After the demolition of the Rein church and the construction of the Rissa church, the old Rein church was greatly missed.

The church is also called "Bojerkjerka" in common parlance.
