Church The Angel

Kerkje De Engel is a modest, rectangular church constructed from traditional brickwork characteristic of 1950s Dutch building styles. It was established on land that was formerly open heathland on the outskirts of Huizen and is now surrounded by housing and lies close to Zwembad de Sijsjesberg. In 1966, an annex was added to accommodate youth activities, and in 2003, the interior underwent a complete renovation, coinciding with the church adopting its present name. 
 

Background and History

The church has its roots in the local branch of the Nederlands Protestantse Bond (NPB), which was founded on 1 June 1944 during World War II. The inaugural service took place on 3 September 1944 in a private residence as no suitable church premises were available at that time. Attendance grew quickly, starting from 75 people to over 150 members by 1950, supported by fundraising events that facilitated the purchase of land and the church's construction. The cornerstone was laid on 17 February 1951, with leadership playing a key role in securing donations from across the country. 

 

Accessibility and Visitor Information

The church’s main entrance is located at César Francklaan 13. It is easily accessible, with smooth, level paving leading directly from the public sidewalk, which is situated less than 30 meters away. There are no stairs or major barriers, making the site accessible to all visitors. Parking and bicycle racks are conveniently available nearby. Admission is free for contemplative gatherings and Sunday services, though some concerts or lectures may require tickets or fees as announced by event organizers.

Deeper within yourself

Mellie Uyldert described this place as a place of power. When the church is open, take the opportunity to stand in the centre of the church. Connect with the earth and the cosmos and explore the extent to which you can simply be at trust with yourself and life.
