Explore Religious Heritage Across Europe

The Dutch Reformed Evangelism on Reformed Foundations in Haastrecht was founded in June 1933, when the Association of Reformed Religious Teachers began holding sermons in an inn. Due to the unsuitability of the location, another one was sought, and soon the members of the Religious Teachers Association preached twice on Sundays in the Concordia building. Attendance grew steadily, and in December 1933 it was decided to appoint Mr. G. de Pater, Religious Teacher in Gouderak, to make house calls and give catechism. He was able to devote his energies to our congregation until well after the war. For example, he founded the magazine 'Om Sions Wil' to raise money for Evangelism. After Mr. de Pater, Mr. Stolk, Rev. Verwelius, Rev. Cuperus, Mr. LD Burger, Rev. GH van Kooten were mentors of our congregation. From October 2000 to May 2014, Rev. LD Burger was again the congregation's mentor. In May 2014, he was succeeded by Rev. J. Blom from Ridderkerk.

The Reformed Church is a Reformed church building in the town of Meeuwen.

The church dates from the second half of the 15th century and was originally connected to the tower. At that time, the building had the tower, a low nave and a high choir. Around 1592, part of the nave was destroyed (siege of Coevorden). The remaining part of the nave was brought to the same height as the choir in 1628 and the west facade was then bricked up. Since then, the church and tower have been separated. Of the Gothic church, only the ruined eastern part and the freestanding tower (ca. 1450 - 1500) remain. The nave is said to have collapsed during the Eighty Years' War - or was the church never finished due to lack of money? When the church was plastered in 1862, the furniture, including two 17th century pews, remained reasonably intact. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The polder Oud-Herkingen was probably first diked in 1420. At that time, this polder belonged to the monastery of the Regulars of Rugge in Brielle and to the Carthusian monastery in Zelem. These monasteries rented the polder to shepherds. This polder did not exist for long. In 1484, Herkingen was diked again. On 9 July of the same year, the chapel that had been built was elevated to parish church by the bishop of Utrecht, David of Burgundy. The chapel was dedicated to Saint Cornelius and was incorporated into the monastery of the Regulars of Rugge. This polder did not exist for long either, because a flood was already reported in 1511. The chapel that had been built was probably washed away. Many floods would follow in the 16th century.
