Some more Gelderland

This announcement is a bit overdue as I have been struggling with an error in the html-code of one of the pages involved, but here we are with a new page about the Reformed church of Beekbergen as well as some improvements to the pages about Apeldoorn, both the city and the villages in the eponymous municipality as well.

Two architects











Two new architect pages were added, by coincidence both about architects from the city of Rotterdam but each representing a different period as well as a side of the spectrum. The relatively unknown W.C. Coepijn designed several eclectic protestant (Gereformeerd) churches and is difficult to find information about, while there is so much to tell about the catholic P.G. Buskens that I had to restrict myself to the essentials.

...and some more

The Gelderland section has three new pages, one about Heerde municipality and the other about the reformed churches of the villages Heerde and Vorchten  (picture).

In het Nederlands: er is een nieuwe pagina over de kerken in de gemeente Heerde.

More new Zuid-Holland pages

Two more pages were added to the Zuid-Holland section; a fairly elaborate (close to complete) one about Alphen aan den Rijn municipality, and a good start (only two of its eight locations covered) at Bodegraven-Reeuwijk

In het Nederlands: nieuwe pagina's over de gemeenten Alpen aan den Rijn en Bodegraven-Reeuwijk

New Zuid-Holland pages

A new and more expansive page about Voorne aan Zee municipality replaces the old one about Brielle. The page about the reformed church of that specific town (see picture) is also updated. 

Also new is a page about the reformed church of Hendrik Ido Ambacht

In het Nederlands: er is een nieuwe pagina over de gemeente Voorne aan Zee, ter vervanging van, en een stuk uitgebreider dan, de pagina over Brielle.

A bit more of Zeeland and another architect



More Zeeland news. Following the previous update is a renewed page about the reformed Grote of Maria Magdalenakerk (see picture) of Goes. Also, two more pages about municipalities were added, Kapelle and Reimerswaal. This means twelve, out of a total of thirteen, of Zeeland's municipalities are now represented with a page on this website. In the proces the page about the reformed church of Kapelle and Kruiningen were also updated. 

And then there's a new page about yet another largely forgotten, and in this case quite mysterious architect, H. Onvlee, a man whose career as a (protestant) church architect fits mostly in a single year and who would never see one of his churches completed. 

Het nieuws in het Nederlands: er zijn nieuwe pagina's over de gemeenten Kapelle en Reimerswaal.

Zeeland updates

Today I have for you an update to the page about the municipality of Goes as well as a new page about Schouwen-Duiveland municipality. Also, the page about the big church of Brouwershaven is updated with almost all new pictures. 

In het Nederlands: eindelijk, na vier jaar, weer eens een nieuwe pagina over een gemeente in Zeeland, Schouwen-Duiveland. En kijk vooral ook even naar de vernieuwde pagina over de gemeente Goes.

Big Haarlem update

The page about Haarlem, the capital of Noord-Holland, is updated. Long overdue, because many churches were missing and I intended to fix this in 2012 already, but with pictures of not very good quality. Thankfully, I no longer need those. Six old pictures were replaced today, while eight churches were added. Also, there are some new pictures on the pages about Haarlem's biggest churches, the Gothic Grote Kerk and the St. Bavo cathedral.

Twente again, and a few architects updates



Returning to the Twente region of Overijssel once more, the pages about the municipalities DinkellandHof van Twente and Tubbergen have all been expanded with a few objects each. 

New pictures were added to the pages about architects E.J. Margry and Th. Molkenboer

And then there are two new pages about architects. Both relatively unknown and mostly of regional importance, but with enough pictures of their works at my disposal to warrant a bit of research. Some very incomplete biographies but with some quite complete lists of churches. Find out more about the protestant architect J.B. Radstake and the catholic G. van Vogelpoel (the picture shows one of his churches) and his son W.J. van Vogelpoel.

Overijssel, Twente region


Today the pages about three old churches in the lovely Twente region of Overijssel were updated with new and better pictures. Take a look at the reformed
Stiftskerk of Het Stift/Weerselo, the reformed church of Delden and the H.H. Simon en Judas in Ootmarsum.

A few more updates. 

New in the Utrecht section is a page about the reformed Grote Kerk in Wijk bij Duurstede. There's also a new version of the page about the reformed church of Doorn.
In the Noord-Brabant section the page about Oss municipality is expanded with seven more buildings, representing the former County of Megen, a catholic enclave since the Reformation until ca. 1800. 
In the Gelderland the page about the reformed church of Neerijnen is updated, once again, with recent pictures.
Concluding today's updates are some small changes to the pages about architects Th. Molkenboer, Th. Asseler, H.J. van Tulder and N.J.H. van Groenendael.
