The St. Agatha Church is a Roman Catholic church in the center of Beverwijk in the Dutch province of North Holland. The church was designed by Joseph and Pierre Cuypers Jr. and was completed in 1924.

Iconic late neo-Gothic church with an initially 75 m high tower. Replaced the old church from 1842. New spire from 1930 designed by Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949), replacing the original spire (see below). The tower has since been several metres lower than before. The crossing tower was also replaced at that time; the current tower has also become lower. Pastor Klekamp immediately started building: the St. Agatha monastery and the girls' school in 1901. In April 1902, construction of the new St. Agatha church began. The money for the new church had to be raised bit by bit by the farmers and bulb growers by grazing lambs in front of the church and by holding flower bulb auctions. This story is depicted at the top of the nave of the church. On 7 August 1903, the church was consecrated by Mgr. Van de Wetering, Archbishop of Utrecht. The construction of the church and the rectory cost a total of f. 165,566. But the construction continued: the boys' school was also built in 1905 and the "Piusgesticht" in 1909. When in 1930 the spire, which at 75 metres is the highest in the area, proved to be unstable, it had to be replaced; this cost the parish Hfl. 30,594. The Stations of the Cross, which were donated by various parishioners between 1903 and 1911, were painted by Jan Dunselman in Amsterdam. On 15 August 1914 the new organ was inaugurated, precisely on the 40th anniversary of the priesthood of Pastor Klekamp, ​​who died in 1915. He was succeeded by Pastor Thomann, an exceptionally good man. In 1923 the church received the beautiful copper chandeliers made in the studio of Brom in Utrecht, and in 1924 the beautiful pulpit that still adorns our church. The statue of St. Agatha, the patron saint of our church, was donated in 1925. In ancient times she was one of the most famous saints from around the year 250. She had dedicated her life to Christ and could not be dissuaded from this, despite the terrible tortures she had to endure. Every year we commemorate her on February 5, the day of her death. A relic of hers is kept in the beautiful reliquary, with the unicorn as a symbol of chastity.

For centuries, Saint Agatha has been associated with Boekel. In 1358, a chapel was founded that bore her name. Boekel was not yet an independent parish at that time, but fell under the parish of St. Peter in Uden. In 1627, the chapel was granted some pastoral rights and in 1677, Joannes de Goeij became the first real pastor of the independent parish of Boekel. In 1766, the medieval chapel, which had since been elevated to a parish church, was significantly expanded due to the growing number of inhabitants. Around 1830, the number of inhabitants of Boekel had increased to such an extent that expanding the church at that time would no longer be sufficient: a completely new church was built. On 6 August 1832, Dean A. van Vugt blessed the new church. On 11 October 1915, appointed pastor Josephus de Raad arrived in Boekel and seemed to have had tears in his eyes when he saw his future church. By using damp and wrong material during the construction of the water board church, it began to subside and crack, so that repair would cost more than perhaps a new church. At the end of March 1916, Tilburg architect CF van Hoof received a gratuity for drawings and travel expenses. At the same time, architect J. Franssen from Roermond was commissioned to draw up specifications for a new church with a rectory.

Parish founded in 1919, as a result of the increase in the number of Catholics in the Willemspark neighbourhood under construction and the northwestern part of the original Plan Zuid by architect Berlage. Construction of the nave 1920-'21; tower, transept, choir, rectory and sexton's house 1930-'32.

Roman Catholic parish church of St. Agnes, built in 1902-'03 for the Catholic population in the Regentessekwartier, which was created at about the same time in The Hague. Three-aisled neo-Gothic cruciform basilica with octagonal tower with spire to the right of the front facade. Wooden barrel vaults with accolade-shaped cross-section over the main aisles; side aisles with stone cross-rib vaults. Stained glass windows in choir and transept, made in the period 1920-'30 by the Hague studio Asperslagh. The whole is a characteristic work of the well-known Rotterdam office Margry & Snickers, built in a free interpretation of the early French and late English Gothic.

Interesting, sober, non-oriented, church without pillars, with concrete construction, with to the right of the front facade a defining tower with copper-green spire. Built in the northwest corner of the then new prosperous Blijdorp district, as an annex/auxiliary church of the parish of Our Lady of the Rosary on the Provenierssingel. In the media, this church was referred to as a "annex church" when it was put into use. In 1973, when the neo-Gothic Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Rosary was decommissioned (demolished in 1975), the associated parish was added to the parish of St. Albertus de Grote. Various objects were then replaced in the present church, including the statue of Mary on the front facade and the Stations of the Cross.

Late neo-Gothic church with tower and historic choir.

Central building on a pentagonal ground plan, covered by a tent roof. The freestanding bell tower was added in 1972. The whole is built in modernist forms, and is in line with the guidelines of the modern Roman Catholic liturgy after the Second Vatican Council (1962-'65).

The PASTORIE, located on the Zandstraat, on the corner of Pastoor Zijlmansstraat, was built in 1900, probably designed by architect CJH Franssen (1860-1932). The parsonage is located to the left of the church. The ornamental garden at the front is surrounded by a low brick wall. A path runs along the left side wall to the garage behind it. The church square is located on the right side. In 1952, a bay window was placed against the right side wall, next to the side entrance.
