Landsmeer, NL
Built as a Reformed Church, replacing an older wooden church on the Noordeinde. Interesting church building, with some "Amsterdam School" influences in terms of exterior and interior. Expansion with extra rooms behind the church in 1967. Presumably the interior was also renovated and modernized at that time, while retaining the original architecture and spatial effect. In the context of Samen op Weg, later PKN, this church became the central Protestant church building in Landsmeer in 2002. At that time this church was also given the name "Het Kruispunt". In this church, on the left rear, the organ from the decommissioned Ned. Herv. Kerk was also placed at that time.
