Protestantse Kerk

Hulst, NL

In 1930, the Dutch Reformed Church of Hulst took the current hall church with saddle roof tower on the Houtmarkt into use. The pulpit, pew, choir screens and chandeliers were moved from the current Roman Catholic Basilica of St. Willibrordus, which is diagonally opposite the Reformed Church. Before 1930, the Dutch Reformed Church held church services in the Basilica at the same time as the Roman Catholic Church. At the time, a wall was built into it, which separated the two denominations. They also both had their own bell. After the Reformed Church took their current church into use in 1930, the basilica was returned in its entirety to the Roman Catholic Church.
