Edam, NL
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Mennonites were not allowed to build their churches on public roads. They often held their church services in an ordinary house or a clandestine church. That is why this inconspicuous building is half hidden behind the sexton's house. It was the meeting place of the Frisian community that united with the Waterland movement in Edam in 1742. The Vermaning was built in 1702 after a previous church building on the same site was seriously damaged by fire in 1699. The interior has an oak interior from the 18th century.
