Witte Kerkje
Built as Christian Reformed Church (CGK). Hall church in sober neo-Romanesque style, with round arch windows and a small bell pylon above the front facade. Damaged by fire in 1966, after which it was restored in a modified, more sober form. Since January 2005, the Reformed Church (GKV) has also been holding church services here. In 2008, the church was temporarily out of use due to renovations. The CGK and the GKV began discussions in 1992. A joint church service was held for the first time in September 2002. In 2004, the Reformed Church was able to sell its building profitably to the Fries Scheepvaartmuseum next door. And since 1 January 2005, both have been using the CGK building. Initially, there were separate morning services and joint afternoon services. But soon all services were held jointly and the federation was formed on 1 January 2007. On November 23, 2008, the first church service was held in the fully restored and renovated Chr. Geref. Church. The restored church was officially put into use on Saturday, February 28, 2009. The so-called White Church, built in 1907 and rebuilt after a fire in 1966, is the permanent home of the CGKV church. During the restoration, church services were held in the former youth hostel De Wigledam on the Oude Oppenhuizerweg, behind the former Kingfabriek. (53-05/54-05/57-07/61-09) Dbb.
