New Dutch Reformed Church in the post-war district of Morgenstond. Hall church, covered by a concrete shell roof, with ancillary rooms and a free-standing, open-worked concrete bell tower at the front. Designed by KL Sijmons Dzn. in a functionalist style, this was, in liturgical terms, a breakthrough in Protestant church construction just after the Second World War. The communion room could be connected to the church hall by means of a sliding wall or not. As such, Sijmons created a design that opened the way to multiple use. Stylistically, the design is somewhat influenced by the work of Le Corbusier due to the sculpturally designed bell tower.

The Advent Church was built in 1966-1967 by order of the psychiatric institution Licht en Kracht (now the General Psychiatric Hospital Drenthe) to a design by the architects PL de Vrieze and AM Dekker from Groningen.
