Hall church in neo-Romanesque style without tower. Out of use as a church building NPB 1948. Then in use as a church of the Mennonite Community. The roof turret, present on the old black and white image, disappeared decades ago.

Extension in 1853 and 1932. Renovated in 1963.

In 1996, the beautiful church from 1853 was demolished because it had become too expensive to maintain. The adjacent buildings, which were also owned by the Mennonite Community, were then restored and converted into a new church.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Mennonites were not allowed to build their churches on public roads. They often held their church services in an ordinary house or a clandestine church. That is why this inconspicuous building is half hidden behind the sexton's house. It was the meeting place of the Frisian community that united with the Waterland movement in Edam in 1742. The Vermaning was built in 1702 after a previous church building on the same site was seriously damaged by fire in 1699. The interior has an oak interior from the 18th century.

Small hall church without tower. Replaced adjacent church house. Destroyed by fire in 1983, subsequently restored.

The Mennonite Meeting House dating from 1790 and its associated side rooms were restored and renovated in 2007. The old entrance with the large doors is now the main entrance again. Inside, everything is so flexibly arranged that the building can have a multifunctional purpose. (60-08/61-09)
