Hervormde Kerk

Siddeburen, NL

The oldest, Romanesque, part is the base of the tower and the two westernmost bays. This part was built around 1200. A few decades later, the building was extended in Romanesque Gothic style, with a recessed semicircular apse being built on the east side. The beautiful brickwork was hidden for years by a layer of plaster. Halfway through the 20th century, the church was restored, with the brickwork being made visible again. (Source: [1] )

Hervormde Kerk

De Waal, NL

In 1952 this church was built under the architecture of JWHC Pot. At that time still without a tower due to a ban on towers immediately after the war. In 1961 the current tower was built to a design by the same architect. Given the coherence of the original interior it is very likely that this was also designed by Pot. This is a special reconstruction church: wherever possible the architect applied the principle of (anthroposophical) polygonality. This also occurs in the architecture of churches of the Christian Community. (Architect Pot also collaborated on the design of the Poldertoren in Emmeloord).
