Centrumkerk

The first church built at the site was the Oranjetuin. It was shared with the Lutheran church, and was also used as Town Hall. In 1743, the government moved out, and the Lutheran congregation erected their own church in 1747. Around the church was a cemetery. The old church was torn down and replaced by a new octagonal shaped church in 1810. On 25 November 1975, the Centrumkerk was temporarily used as parliament building. The official transfer of sovereignty was signed in the church. ==Monuments==

In 1944, W.A. Leeuwin made a radio program about Johannes Nicolaas Helstone, a composer and pianist. The broadcast ended with the observation that there were no visible signs of his presence any more. In 1948, a monument was erected on the north-side of the church honouring Helstone. ==References==
