De Lichtzijde Church

Located in Zoetermeer, Netherlands, De Lichtzijde is a church that has undergone several renovations and expansions since its construction in the late 19th century.

The building features Gothic Revival architecture and is constructed from brick and stone.

Striking Stained-Glass Windows

The church is known for its beautiful stained-glass windows, which depict scenes from the Bible.

  • A large organ adds to the peaceful atmosphere of the church.
  • The church features regular services and events throughout the year, including Sunday masses, concerts, and community gatherings.

De Lichtzijde is an important part of the local community and plays a significant role in the spiritual lives of many people in Zoetermeer.

  1. In 1999, the church was renovated for Evangelie Gemeente Parousia.
  2. The community moved to Wattstraat in 2007.

Since 2007, the church has been in use by samenwerkingsgemeente De Lichtzijde, a federative church formed through the merger of Christelijke Gereformeerde and Nederlands Gereformeerde Kerken van Zoetermeer.

Architect Hanno Munting was tasked with redeveloping the building again for this new community.
