Nieuwe Waalse Kerk

The building is a mixture of various styles: neoclassical architecture (the stone facade with a rusticated base) and Romanesque Revival architecture (the small round recessed windows and the Lombard band along the edge of the roof).

Godefroy also mixed traditional styles with techniques and materials that at that time were considered new and innovative.

For instance, he designed folding chairs for the church that had a faux wood texture, but were actually made of cast iron.

[3] The church hall is a rectangular space lined on both sides by galleries supported by cast-iron columns.

When the church was repurposed as an arts centre in the late 20th century, an additional storey was added.

The house, which dated to 1671 and was designed by Adriaan Dortsman, was to be demolished and replaced with a new church building.
