Description
Originally named the Chapel of Atonement, it was built in the 18th century by a wealthy Dutch merchant, Jacob Linden, and gifted to the Reformed Church of Villedor. After the Great Linden Fire, which started in one of Linden's warehouse and ravaged the city in 1772, Jacob Linden was convicted for arson and the Chapel seized by the powerful Catholic Church of Villedor, which renamed it the Chapel of the Resurrection.
