H.H. Petrus en Paulus

Leidschendam, NL

Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul, built around 1880 to a design by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891) (pupil of Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921)), in collaboration with (presumably) his brother AAJ Margry and JM Snickers, to replace a predecessor that had become too small. Three-aisled cruciform basilica in the characteristic and recurring style of the Margrys, inspired by early French Gothic, but in this case entirely in neo-Romanesque, round-arched shapes. Asymmetrical front with tower on the right corner, on the waterfront (see images below), simple staircase tower on the other corner. Internally covered by wooden barrel vaults (main naves). Stone cross vaults over the side aisles. The design shows many similarities with that of the H. Hartkerk in Rotterdam from the same period, also designed by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891), also neo-Romanesque, which was destroyed in the bombing of 1940 (the most important neo-Romanesque church by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891), however, was the St. Monicakerk in Utrecht, which was demolished in 1977).

H.H. Petrus en Paulus

Bergen (NH), NL

The Roman Catholic HH Petrus en Pauluskerk from 1924 replaced a church by architect Th. Asseler from 1867 that had become too small. It is a large church without a tower, in late neo-Gothic forms, designed by the Bergen architect Jan Leijen (1876-1958). At the crossing there is a small roof turret; semi-circular apse on the south side (the church is not oriented). To the right of the front facade is the parsonage, which is a remnant of the previous church from 1867. The spacious cruciform basilica was designed according to the guidelines of the Liturgical Movement from the early 20th century, in which all believers find a place in the wide central nave. The interior, executed as fair-faced masonry, is covered by rib vaults. Architecturally, there is a slight relationship, both externally and internally, with the church buildings of Joseph Cuypers from the 1920s. The seven stained-glass choir windows date from the construction period and represent the Seven Sacraments. They were made by Lou Asperslagh (1893-1949) from The Hague. The Stations of the Cross (1944) and a mural "The Miracle of Bergen" (1949) were made by the Bergen artist Jaap Min (1914-1987). The original main altar from the Haarlem studio Maas (ca. 1910) was initially in the previous church and was replaced in 1974 by a forward-placed altar table by the aforementioned Jaap Min. The organ by the Pels company (Alkmaar) dates from 1932.
