Vlaamse Evangelische kerk

About

The Church of Christ (formerly: Flemish Evangelical Church) is a Protestant church building in the city of Antwerp, located on Bexstraat 13.

History: The church was founded by the Belgian Christian Mission Church, since 1969 Reformed Church of Belgium and incorporated in 1978 in the United Protestant Church in Belgium. Zendingskerk was active in Antwerp since 1857 and in 1860 involved a chapel at the Kommekensstraat, located in the Schipperskwartier. Burden of the neighborhood and construction collapse of the chapel led to need for a new church in another place. To this end, a plot on the Bexstraat could be taken over from the Deutsche Evangelische Gemeinde. Joseph Hertogs designed a church that was built in 1893 next to the German evangelical church, designed by the same architect. In 1968 the tower pits turned out to be ruined and it was demolished. In 1978, the German evangelical church was demolished and the Flemish evangelical church continued to exist. In 1986, the tower was given a new peak. In 2004 the church was classified as a monument.

Building: It is a brick church designed for the Protestant worship in neo-Roman style. It's a hall church...
