Nederlands Hervormde Kerk, Schagen, Protestant church in Schagen, Netherlands.
The Nederlands Hervormde Kerk is a Protestant church building in Schagen with red brick walls and light-colored natural stone blocks at the corners. The tower rises with a wooden spire that shapes the town's skyline.
The building was constructed between 1895 and 1897 and replaced an earlier church that was destroyed by fire. Architect J.A.G. van der Steur designed this new structure as an important rebuild for the community.
This place reflects the Protestant faith that has deep roots in this region. The wooden benches and organ inside show how worshippers gather here to pray and celebrate services together.
The building is located centrally at Markt 23A and has space for roughly 250 to 400 visitors inside. When visiting, note that the interior is divided into different areas by a partition wall added in 1923.
The interior has four bays with side transverse areas, an arrangement that uses the space efficiently. The interior was reshaped in 1923 with a wooden partition wall that still shapes the sense of space today.
