Building: Gereformeerde Kerk (Reformed Church)
Old pictures from the church...
Our investigations started with this post card. The text
is clear; the Divine Name is at the top. The text on the bottom
(of the picture) is: "the first stone was laid by Ds
Fokkens at Boornbergum - Jan. 14, 1921. Ds H. Fokkens was
a preacher at Boornbergum from 1917 till 1922. Looking at
the pictures here below, it would appear that these photos
are not from the church at Boorngerum; the detail on the front
does not match.
Research (from a local website) learns that this must
be the first building of the Dutch Reformed church of Beetsterzwaag.
Beetsterzwaag is about 4,9 km from Boornbergum. By way of
confirmation, the next picture was sent to us: (note: this
church does not exist any longer).
