Reconstruction church without tower. Out of use as Reformed church in 2000.

Over a hundred years ago, Evangelisation started as a “church on the threshing floor”. This evangelisation, which has always been small, has held out all those years. Many church communities have ceased to exist over the years because they were no longer viable. The NH evangelisation Leggeloo/Eemster still exists. The chapel was nicknamed the “clog church”. This came from the clogs that were placed in the clog rack in front of the church, since there was no vestibule yet. In 1953, the chapel was enlarged with a vestibule and thirty years later a consistory and meeting room were built behind the church. The Reformed chapel, the smallest church in Drenthe, is still in use.
