The Protestant Church is a church of the Dutch Reformed and Lutheran community in Oranjestad, Aruba. The church is not an official member of any international church organisation. The old church dates from 1846. In 1950, a new church was constructed next to the old church. The old church is the second oldest building of Oranjestad which still exists after Fort Zoutman. The majority of the population of Aruba were Roman Catholics, and there used to be no church for the island’s Protestant community. There was a gentlemen's agreement that Catholic priests would perform baptisms and other rites, and inform the Lutheran or Dutch Reformed community in Curaçao. The Protestant community petitioned the States General of the Netherlands to open a church in Aruba. More information...
