Paskerk
Paskerk is the Dutch Reformed Church (Nederlands Hervormde Gemeente) located at Prins Hendrikstraat 38 in Doetinchem, Netherlands.
The church was built in 1862 as a replacement for the previous church that stood on the same site since the 13th century. The new church was designed by architect A.A. Scheever and took about two years to complete. Over the centuries, the church has undergone several renovations and restorations.

- The 45-meter-tall tower is a prominent feature of the church's architecture and offers stunning views of the surrounding area.
- The church has beautiful stained glass windows, including a large rose window above the main entrance.
- The ceiling features intricate wooden carvings and ornate plasterwork, adding to the overall sense of grandeur.
