Randwijk, NL
Reformed church. Of the medieval church, only the late Gothic, single-nave, three-sided closed choir remains. The west side of the nave was irreparably damaged when the tower was blown up in 1944-1945. Under the leadership of ir WJG van Mourik, the choir was restored and a completely new nave was built, more or less in keeping with the style of the choir. Against the west side, a large square tower with a pointed roof and bell spire. The work was completed in 1953, during which the nave, which had been badly damaged in 1944, was subsequently rebuilt in quasi-Gothic forms.
