Heerde, NL
Reformed Church. One of the oldest houses of worship built for the Reformed Church, around 1840, consisting of a simple hall church with round-arched windows and an entrance door in a simple classicist frame, next to which is a parsonage with a storey and windows with six- and eight-pane sliding windows. The church and parsonage are covered by an elongated pantile hipped roof.
Steenwijk, NL
On the border with Drenthe (Havelterberg). The neighborhood association has an agreement with the Protestant Community of Steenwijk that the church building is used free of charge every Sunday morning for church services that fall under its authority.
Nieuwlande, NL
On 11 December 1913, 'De Gereformeerde Kerk te Nieuwlande' was instituted. On 8 June 1914, the first stone was laid and in August of that year 'Eben Haëzer' was put into use. The well-known reformed resistance fighter Johannes Post hid people in hiding in this church during the Second World War. The hiding place can still be seen. The Stichting Het Drentse Landschap will investigate whether the church can be preserved in some way. Nieuwlande played a special role in the war and received a Yad Vashem award for it. Of course, Nieuwlande wants to keep that past alive. 'The new destination for the reformed church in the village can play an important role in this'. It is not without reason that the church is located on the Johannes Poststraat.
