Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church, Reformed church in Flatlands, Brooklyn, United States.
The church building at Kings Highway exhibits Greek Revival elements with clapboard siding, multi-paned windows, and a tall central steeple rising above the structure.
Founded in 1654 by Dutch settlers, this congregation has worshipped in three different buildings on the same site, with the current structure dating from 1848.
Services conducted in Dutch language continued until 1812, when the congregation expanded to include non-Dutch members from the surrounding Brooklyn community.
The church maintains a 2.5-acre property that includes the main building, an administration wing from 1904, and a cemetery with 1,500 grave sites.
The church bell weighs 450 pounds and has marked the passing of every American president since George Washington, along with major national events.
