The church building of the Evangelical Lutheran community in Leeuwarden was built in 1774 to a design by the Roman Catholic city architect Van Nooteboom (1733 - 1812), with financial support from mainly the community of Amsterdam. The memorial stone in the front facade is a reminder of this. The simple building, a hall church with galleries, replaces an older church from 1681, financed by Andreas Moeller, whose funeral plaque still hangs in the church. The church was restored in 1994.

Bussum, NL
At the end of December 1901, the Evangelical Lutheran community of Naarden-Bussum was founded, at that time still part of the main community of Weesp. Previously, since 1640-1645, a Lutheran community had existed in Naarden, which, however, went out of business during the nineteenth century. In 1912, the newly founded community became independent. Initially, they had worshipped in the Concordia building in Bussum. However, they wanted their own church building at a central location between Naarden and Bussum, and so a piece of land was purchased, located between the Mecklenburglaan and the Brinklaan. A new church was built on this in 1903, designed by architect Nierop from Maartensdijk. The contractor was Mr. Jurriaan from Naarden. The building was consecrated on 12 April 1903. The church was in its original form a cruciform church in Gothic style with an apse on the Brinklaan side, a roof turret at the crossing and a vaulted ceiling inside. The building blended harmoniously into the surrounding residential area.
