Nola, IT
The present Nola Cathedral was built between 1869 and the beginning of the 20th century according to a project by the architect Nicola Breglia in neo-Renaissance style: it was inaugurated in May 1909 with the placing of the relics of Saint Paulinus. The new construction was necessary due to the devastating arson attack that completely destroyed the old Gothic church on the night of 13th February 1861.

Houtigehage, NL
Hall church without tower. Replaced an earlier wooden church.
Alphen aan den Rijn, NL
The previous wooden church became too small and was replaced in 1904 by this larger stone church designed by J. Hengeveld. A hall church with a stepped gable, gable turret and neo-renaissance diamond caps. The church served as a Reformed church until 1965 and was then sold and transferred to the Old Reformed Church in Alphen aan den Rijn. The Old Reformed Church had originated as a Free Old Reformed Church and joined the Federation of Old Reformed Churches in the Netherlands in 1946. The church met many times in a 'hall' in the centre of old Alphen. In the 1960s, the church was forced by the government to move due to the construction of a shopping centre. As a result, the former Reformed church was purchased. In the year of purchase, the new Reformed Good Shepherd Church was put into use. The church community needed a larger church building, because membership increased sharply as large new housing estates were built north of the Rhine.
