Lutheran Church | Purmerend
This church was designed by Purmerend town architect P. Mager in eclectic style and built between 1878 and 1880. The current church replaced an earlier church building from 1712.
On the spire is a weather vane in the shape of a swan, characteristic of Evangelical Lutheran churches. Until March 2011, this church was in use as the central church of the Protestant congregations in Purmerend. The church with a small forecourt located in the historic centre of Purmerend, was purchased by Stadsherstel Amsterdam in 2016 and refurbished by them and made suitable for a new use.
The church has since passed into private hands and is used as an event venue. One of the users is the Church of the Nazarene for their weekly church service on Sunday mornings at 10.30am.
During opening hours, you can just walk in. Volunteers from the church will be present for a chat or to pray together if necessary. If you are just curious about the building, feel free to take a look. The volunteers will be happy to tell you about its history.
