The Open Hof dates from 1971. From the beginning, the Protestants and the Reformed went 'Together on the Way'. This was quite unique at the time and received a lot of attention in the press. In the mid-eighties, the collaboration had reached the point where in practice it was a truly federal church. The building underwent various adjustments over the years. Initially, separate rooms for young people were added. In 1994, the church hall was enlarged and raised to a light space with good acoustics. Finally, in November 1997, the new Nijsse organ was put into use, which crowned all this work. Since 1 May 2004, De Open Hof, together with other parishes in Soest, has been united into the Protestant Church of the Netherlands.
