Another location had to be found and Pastor Saxe focused on Het Park. After much effort he got permission to build there, with a view of the Parkhaven. A beautiful wooden church was built in this peaceful area, in typical seventeenth-century Norwegian architectural style. The church could be built thanks to numerous donations, including a large contribution from King Haakon VII of Norway, which has just become independent. On July 26, 1914, the church was consecrated by Bishop Erichsen from Bergen. In 1937, part of Het Park had to make way for the construction of the Tunneltraverse for the Maas Tunnel, which is under construction. Because they wanted to preserve the church at all costs, it was rolled and placed 170 meters away next to the entrance to the park. On October 3, 1941, the living area was partly burned out by a British firebomb; the pastor and his family had to stay elsewhere for a few years, but the damage could be repaired. The church space itself suffered little damage and could remain in use. Since 1999, the wooden church, which is the largest wooden building in the Netherlands, has been a national monument.
