(As has been explained on other pages of this site, both 'Gereformeerde kerk' and 'Hervormde kerk' mean nothing else than reformed church. But as the reformed churches in the Netherlands are divided in two major denominations, Hervormd and Gereformeerd, 'reformed' will be used for the oldest of them only, being Hervormd.)
It
looks like architect Tj. Kuipers didn't like to waste even a square
inch of the available space when designing a church. This church is
only an example of his efficiency, but as this is not such a big church
it is very apparent. A few years later he repeated the trick with the Gereformeerde
Bergsingelkerk in Rotterdam.
