The story of the (Vm.) Rehoboth
Very little is known about the little church on Van Akenwei. It was built around 1905. It fell out of use in 1970 and then served as a storage facility for many years. After it fell into disrepair, it was extensively rebuilt after years of vacancy.
It is a simple little building with a gable roof and round-arched windows in the side walls. There is a rosette window in the front facade and rear facade. Originally, the building had a dormer window.
The facade previously contained a double door. This was later replaced by single square windows. In the side wall on the south side, a round-arched window was removed and a front door was placed in the place of the second round-arched window. Four round-arched windows remain in that side wall. In the other side wall, the five original round-arched windows are still visible. Window shutters have been installed in a few places.
The gable roof is covered with black tile. A dormer was built on the south side. The associated barn in the garden behind the little church has the same rosette windows.
The building now serves as a residence.
