Rehobothkerk

Honselersdijk, NL

After the merger of the Reformed Church and the Reformed Congregations in Honselersdijk on 21 February 2011 within the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, both church buildings, the Rehoboth Church and De Voorhof, remained in use for several years. In 2016, the Rehoboth Church was renovated, with the interior being renewed. The church organ, built in 1967-1968 by the PC Bik company, was demolished. An organ from Rudolf Oehms from 1981 was purchased, built for the Sankt Piuskirche in Neunkirchen in Saarland. The organ was relocated by Ide Boogaard in collaboration with many volunteers. The Sankt Piuskirche was a modern church building from 1960, consecrated on 11 December 1960. After a final celebration on 31 October 2015, this church was closed due to a sharp decline in church attendance. On December 16, 2016, the renovated church building in Honselersdijk was put into use at the same time as the organ with a new name: the Regenboogkerk. The Voorhof was then taken out of use.

Reims Cathedral

Reims Cathedral

Reims, FR

Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral is known to have been the site of almost all the coronations of the kings of France since the 11th century.

The current Gothic cathedral was built from the 13th to 14th centuries, on a site where cathedrals have been built since the 5th century. The building was severely damaged during the First World War, but has been rebuilt and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991.
