Onze Lieve Vrouw van de Allerheiligste Rozenkrans

De Goorn, NL

In many ways interesting interbellum church with tower, in late neo-Gothic to expressionist forms. No transept. Replaced an earlier church. The high tower is sober, with a copper-green spire. To the left of the church is an older parsonage. To the right of the church is the large Roman Catholic cemetery behind the church. On the right side of the choir, left along the path towards the cemetery, a small Marian chapel was added around the beginning of 2010, which is open daily. Inside, against the walls of both aisles, the 14 Stations of the Cross are placed. These probably come from the earlier church on site. In the choir 5 stained glass windows from the construction period.

Onze Lieve Vrouw van de Allerheiligste Rozenkrans / Obrechtkerk

Amsterdam, NL

This neo-Romanesque cross basiliekwas built between 1908 and 1911 after a design by Jos Cuypers and Jan Stuyt. Cuypers had already started in 1898 with the construction of the Sint Bavo in Haarlem, which was not completed until 1930, and in his architectural style clearly meant a transition from the neo-Gothic to a new church architecture.

Onze Lieve Vrouw van de Vrede

Rotterdam, NL

On June 10, 1959, the first pile was driven for the church building of the Apostolic Society on the Korfmakersstraat in Tusschendijken. Characteristic of the building by architect ME Hartman was a series of seven asymmetrically protruding windows with a wide and a narrow plane. The windows in the long plane had stained glass windows with decorative flower-like patterns. The building was suddenly demolished in the summer of 2022. Perhaps not a masterpiece, but an elegant and usable building.
