Large, iconic neo-Gothic church in the south of Nijmegen, with a high tower (56 m). This important church is called "St. Antonius van Padua en St. Anna", and is located in the Nijmegen district of Sint Anna. The church could be built thanks to a donation from the so-called Grewenfonds, the fund of the Rotterdam businessman JP Grewen, with which the construction of various churches dedicated to St. Antonius van Padua in the diocese of Den Bosch was financed. As a compromise, the church was eventually dedicated to both St. Antonius van Padua and St. Anna. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
