Protestantse Kerk

Kleverskerke, NL

Around 1200 the first church was founded in Kerkwerve. For the first centuries it was Roman Catholic. Shortly after the siege of Zierikzee around 1576 the Reformation began to break through on Schouwen-Duiveland. The residents of Kerkwerve joined the new doctrine. The damaged church was partly demolished and partly restored and made suitable for the Reformed church service. In the 1980s the exterior of the Dutch Reformed church was restored. Between 1992 and 2004 the interior was restored in phases. Finally the coats of arms of the Lords of Kleverskerke were given a makeover. They are hanging back in their place in the pew. And with this the restoration was completed on 22 October 2004.

Protestantse Kerk

Lemele, NL

Around 1860, the committee for the Foundation of a Reformed Church of Lemele and Archem was established. At that time, the inhabitants of Lemele still had to walk about nine kilometres to Ommen to attend church services on Sundays. This proved to be too much of a task for many people. The efforts of the committee paid off. On 21 May 1865, the Koepelkerk was consecrated. This soon proved to be too small and after several renovations, it was decided to build a new church at the end of the 1930s. This was put into use in January 1940.

The church was founded in 1828 by AM Baroness Mackay. Hall church with roof turret. This church falls under the Protestant Community of Venray and surroundings, and is currently only in use in the summer.
