Late neo-Gothic church

Large, iconic church with a double tower front and 2 important organs. Originally built for the new Roman Catholic parish of St. Liduina in Haarlem-Noord. Large interbellum church, which replaced an earlier emergency church. A high tower was to have been built to the right of the choir. This was not built, except for the substructure. The lower towers on either side of the front facade were built later. Characteristic work in the oeuvre of Jos Margry. The church is a large, three-aisled cruciform basilica with a straight, closed choir in mainly late neo-Gothic forms. The wide nave and transept, designed according to the concept of the people's church, are covered by net vaults. This church contains an extremely important series of stained glass windows, some of which date from the construction period. In the second half of the 1990s, the St. Adelbertus parish was formed in the southern part of Haarlem-Noord, as a merger of three parishes: HH Elisabeth and Barbara, H. Hart van Jezus, and St. Liduina. The first two churches were then decommissioned and have since been repurposed (built-in apartments); the St. Liduina church has been called the St. Adelbertus church since this merger. At that time, the church was also extensively renovated, including the installation of a meeting room. Not everyone was/is happy with this renovation. After the closure and demolition of the HH Petrus en Paulus (1993-1994) and the closure of the OL Vrouw van Zeven Sorrows (Mariakerk, 2021), the northern part of Haarlem-Noord also depends on the St. Adelbertus church.
