Katwijk aan den Rijn, NL
The Dutch Reformed Meeting Church at Nieuwe Duinweg 64 stands on the same spot as the wooden emergency church. That wooden Meeting Church was an old Zuiderzee barracks that moved to Katwijk in 1954. In 1961, the chapel was destroyed by a tornado. The new Meeting Church by architects Kraan and van Nieuwkoop was built on the same spot. A photo of the old Zuiderzee barracks hangs in the hall of the church. And on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of this congregation, a commemorative book was published in 2004.
Dordrecht, NL
Modern church without tower in the Sterrenburg district. Built as a Reformed Church.
Oudewater, NL
Modern church building without tower, built as a Reformed Church. In 2005 this became the church of the Protestant Community of Oudewater (PGO), after a merger between the local Reformed Church and the Dutch Reformed sub-community "De Biezen", which until then had used its own "church centre". The Grote of St. Michaëlskerk in Oudewater has remained a separate Reformed community, with a Reformed Bond signature, which is separate from the PGO.
