Bad Nieuweschans, NL
Dutch Reformed Church. Closed-end hall church with a saddle roof between gables from 1751. Originally a garrison church. It was a multifunctional building: the attic served as a storage space for ammunition and hay, and behind the church were two horse stables. In the 19th century, the church lost its function as a garrison church: the attics disappeared and the interior was given a vault. At the back of the church, the prisoner's bench for soldiers in detention is still located. The church was restored in 2001. The inventory includes a 19th-century pulpit and four text boards from 1824, originating from the Der Aa-kerk in Groningen. Organ (national monument) with one manual, made in 1874 by H. Knipscheer for the Reformed Church in Schoonhoven, placed in Nieuweschans in 1925 and restored by W. van der Putten in 2009. Five semi-circular closed windows. Above the entrance is a foundation stone from 1751.
