Dutch churches, reuse or demolition? |
|
In the Dutch year of the religious heritage a new foundation devoted itself to save churches from demolition. In the upcoming 5 years around 1200 Dutch churches will go out of use because of the secularisation. Many of these churches have to be demolished to pay for the renovations of other churches or because the diocese does not allow another use for the house of God. Former churchgoers, local residents and art historians fight for the preservation of the Dutch religious heritage.
Activities: research, accompany filming, interviews and translations.
