Then&now: Bethelkerk - Bethel Church Meester Cornelis - 1910

The Bethel Church - or Bethelkerk in Dutch - was one of the first Protestant churches to be constructed in the Meester Cornelis area after the area was designated to be a future city development during the Dutch colonial time. It still stands today as it was over a century ago and was desginated as a heritage site in 2018.
