Protestantse Kerk

Halfweg, NL

This architecturally very interesting, special church (architect JA Smits), with a small tower, was called the "Small Church" since the local SOW / PKN process, opposite the Reformed "Large Church" of Tj. Kuipers. In the long term, the PKN Halfweg-Zwanenburg only wanted to maintain this "Small Church", which was being restored and redesigned for this purpose from around the end of 2009 to spring 2011. Delays in the implementation of these plans arose due to the fact that all of this had to be financed from the proceeds of the (eventually to be demolished) Reformed "Large Church". In terms of architecture and layout, this Small Church is somewhat similar to Anglican churches and cathedrals in Great Britain, especially the elongated and straight-ended choir.

Protestantse Kerk

Nijega, NL

The Dutch Reformed Church of Nijega is originally a medieval hall church, dedicated to St. Agatha. After a major renovation in 1893 by municipal architect DD Duursma, the church was given its current appearance. The bell tower was also built in that year. The two bells in it came from the belfry, which stood in the churchyard. The year 1381 is mentioned on the oldest preserved bell. A bell from 1793 was removed by the Germans during WWII and replaced in 1957. The entrance gates decorated with cast iron death symbols also date from 1893.
