Individual Sights in ZoetermeerSight 1: Morgensterkerk
The Morgensterkerk is a church building in the "Dorp" district of Zoetermeer.
Sight 2: Adventskerk
The Advent Church is a relatively new church in the old village of Zoetermeer in the Dutch province of South Holland. On April 10, 1954, the members' meeting decided to buy the land. The church was designed by architect A. van Eck Wzn. from Voorburg. The design is in line with the Delft School. It was built in the period from the beginning of August to the beginning of December 1955 by contractor Bontebal from Zoetermeer. The church was consecrated on December 20, 1955. In 2006, the building was placed on the list of municipal monuments by the municipality of Zoetermeer.
Sight 3: De Hoop
De Hoop is a round stone windmill from 1897 in Zoetermeer, South Holland. De Hoop was built to replace an earlier "wind and steam flour mill, also a hulling mill" by Bastiaan Hoogenboezem on the same spot, which burned down in the early morning of January 16, 1897. Presumably this was an octagonal wooden mill. In 1936 the work in progress was demolished from the mill and since then De Hoop has only been used as a grain silo. After a major restoration that lasted from 1983 to 1986, the mill was ready to grind again. Since then, grain has been milled weekly in a traditional way. On Saturdays, the mill shop is open and all kinds of baking supplies are sold. Most of these were produced in the mill.
Sight 4: Pelgrimskerk
The Pilgrim Church is a church in the old village of the Dutch town of Zoetermeer. The church and the adjacent presbytery were designed by architect B.W. Plooij from Amersfoort and were built in 1932. The church is in business expressionist style. Characteristic are the intersecting gable roofs and the parabolic spire. The building can accommodate about 350 people.
Sight 5: Den Haagtempel
The Hague Netherlands Temple is the 114th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
