The Jeruzalemkerk
The Jeruzalemkerk is located at Molenweg 241, 8012 WZ Zwolle, Netherlands. The church was built in the early 20th century, with construction starting in 1909 and finishing in 1911.
It was designed by architect Pierre Cuypers and was part of a larger complex that included a school and a community center.
The name "Jeruzalem" (which means "Jerusalem" in Dutch) refers to the church's connection to the Holy Land. During World War II, the church served as a hiding place for Jewish children who were trying to escape persecution by the Nazi regime.
Today, the Jeruzalemkerk is an important cultural and historical landmark in Zwolle.
It has been well-maintained and is still used for worship services and community events.
