The St Nicolaas Pieck and Gezellenkerk is a Waterstaatkerk dating to 1838. On the eastern facade of the church a chronogram is placed. The text is:
VnI et trIno Deo et IesV ChrIsto aeternI patrIs fILIo totIVs areIs saLVatorI saCrVM
the chronogram adds to 1836 and not to 1838 curiously enough. I couldn't find out why the year 1836 was used.

Text of the original chronogram: VnI et trIno Deo et IesV ChrIsto aeternI patrIs fILIo totIVs areIs saLVatorI saCrVM
