DOME CHURCH

The architect of the church is Jacob van Campen, who is known, among other things, as the architect of the Noordeinde Palace in The Hague and the Palace on Dam Square in Amsterdam. The client was Johan van Reede, the Lord of Renswoude, who later also had the adjacent Renswoude Castle built.

The floor design is a Greek cross with short arms, making it a very compact building. Above the crossing is the eight-sided dome, which in the church rests on so-called Ionic columns. There are various coats of arms in the church. The church's clock is from 1936 and manufactured by the Eijsbouts company. It is a national monument.

The weather vane is special, it has the shape of a fish, in Greek ICHTVS. Translated, these are the initial letters of the words Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior.

One of the first preachers (1649-1652) was the still well-known Reverend Guiljelmus Saldenus.

BURIAL / CEMETERY

On the outside of the Koepelkerk there is access to the crypt where the notables of the castle are buried. Until 1829, only indigent children were buried on both sides of the church. Later, reformed people were buried on the south side and reformed and dissidents on the north side. The cemetery is a national monument.
