Adventskerk, Reformed church in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands
The Adventskerk features a Greek cross layout with equal-length arms, a 40-meter tower, and large stained glass windows in yellow, green, and blue tones.
Following a devastating fire in 1916 that destroyed the previous Nieuwe Kerk, architect W.Ch. Kuijper designed this new church, which opened its doors in 1922.
The church houses a Steinmeyer organ from 1922, one of only two such instruments in the Netherlands, representing significant Dutch musical heritage.
The church tower contains 47 carillon bells, with the largest weighing 1162 kg, played weekly by the city carillonneur for public concerts.
Behind the church stands an independent octagonal chapel from 1773, featuring a stucco dome vault that belonged to Baron Theodorus de Smeth.
