Scheveningen, NL

Built as Dutch Reformed Church, replacing the earlier Badkapel, elsewhere in Scheveningen. Extremely important, monumental church building on the ground plan of a Greek cross, built in 1915-1916 to a design by W.Ch. Kuijper jr. The church has two large towers, placed in the armpits of the main nave and transepts. They are crowned by an octagonal structure with helmet-shaped copper roofs. A small dome-shaped crowning on the crossing. Striking entrance with arcades, the arched theme of which recurs in various places in the building. Very large windows in the gables of the four arms, provided with traceries in natural stone and brick. They contain stained-glass figurative glass. The wooden roofs are provided with decorative painting on the inside. In addition to the organ gallery, the church has deep galleries with ascending pew arrangement in the other three naves. The benches on the galleries date from the construction period, those on the ground floor were replaced later.
