Church building without a tower.

Neo-church without tower. New front facade in 1950.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Mennonite believers were tolerated by the local government. The government allowed Mennonite communities to build their own church, but these were not allowed to be on the public road. In practice, this usually meant that a house was built for the church. In Joure there is no longer a house in front of the church hall, but the small square in front of the church is a reminder of the situation in the 17th century. The church building on Midstraat dates from 1824.”

In 1819, the Mennonite communities of Obergum, Rasquert and Den Hoorn founded a new church in Mensingeweer. But when the province of Groningen planned a road in the fifties of the 20th century on the site of the church building and parsonage, they moved to Eenrum where a new church building was built on the J.J.Willingestraat. The name of the community then became: "Mennonite community of Mensingeweer in Eenrum".

Interesting reconstruction building. Built to replace a synagogue from 1890. The synagogue is situated on its own on the south-east side of the Paslaan in the part east of the Kerklaan. Here the building is situated on its own terrain that is separated from the pavement by an associated fence. In the street there are several other (partly) detached objects, mainly dating from the 19th century, next to and opposite the synagogue.

The Doopsgezinde Kerk (Mennonite Church) was initially built as a clandestine church in 1617. In 1856, the buildings on the Koningsweg that hid the church from view were demolished and the church came into view. In 1854, the church received its current facade with round-arched windows. This facade was designed by CW Bruinvis, city archivist of Alkmaar. It is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Modern hall church without tower. Replaced an earlier 19th century church.

The Doopsgezinde Kerk (Mennonite Church) in Almelo was built in 1684. In 1732, the church was expanded and the current facade was added. The building was restored in 1978. It is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
