Mennonite church from 1838. The side walls are divided by lesenes, between which there is a semicircular closed window. It also has a framed entrance. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

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.”

Built as a Reformed Church. As such out of use around 1974, when a new Reformed Church was put into use elsewhere in Schagen.

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)

Mennonite Church. Neoclassical hall church, built in 1842 to plans by PJ Rollema. Front facade with an entrance with round arch windows, four Doric pilasters, a Doric frieze and a triangular gable field. The windows in the side facades have, remarkably enough, the pointed arch shape. The interior has a semicircular closure and shows a wall treatment formed by Corinthian pilasters. These carry a cornice that forms the transition to the flat ceiling. Pulpit in neo-Gothic shapes. Organ with main work and upper work, made in 1847 by JC Scheuer. Scheuer used the wind chest and pipework of the old organ, which was made in 1786 by A. van Gruisen.
