Linschoten, NL
In 1966, a church hall was built next to the church building that had become too small. In doing so, the church council responded to the anticipated growth of the village centre of Linschoten. In addition, the Roman Catholic parish of Montfoort/Linschoten also started using it from 1968 onwards. The latter was a remarkable and controversial step in its time, but the collaboration between the two churches grew. In 1979, a completely new church building was built next to the original one. This church was named 't Kruispunt. The small church from 1893 was now redundant for the Reformed Church. The space was therefore rented out and was thus preserved for posterity. In 2007, it was given the status of Municipal Monument. The name of the building "Bij de Tol" refers to the former toll house, which used to be on the other side of the Nieuwe Zandweg.
