The Netherlands is a country of church buildings. They are the carriers of faith, art and culture. Beacons in the area. But what to do at a time when church attendance is declining and buildings are losing their function as a place of prayer? More than 1,500 of the more than 7,100 places of worship have now been given a different purpose. This required guts, creativity and commitment. This book contains 88 inspiring, richly illustrated examples. Sometimes it concerns minimal adjustments in the destination, often radical architectural highlights. The special atmosphere and appearance of the church is often preserved. The 400-page book clarifies what is involved in this change and which solutions are conceivable. Up-to-date figures and international comparisons give the subject perspective. In this way the book helps to find a future for these monumental buildings that are so dear to many. is IN DUTCH!
