Heilige Callistus

Roman Catholic Church and parsonage of St. Callistus in Neerbeek, 1933, designed by architect AJ Kropholler in Wassenaar. Built in a sober traditional architectural style influenced by the Delft School, which sought a new interpretation of the traditional norms and values ​​of the past as a reaction to the modern architecture of the Nieuwe Bouwen. The Callistus Church is situated at the intersection of Aldenhofstraat and Laurentiusstraat / Callistusplein and is also fully oriented to the east. The engineering firm Henri Huydts in Maastricht acted as the structural engineer. The northern transept of the church was not built. In 1982, the southern transept was converted into a day chapel, with the pointed arch-shaped dividing arch between the choir and transept being closed with yellow, clean brickwork. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Christus Koning

Interesting reconstruction church. In 1948 it was decided to establish a new parish in Geleen-South. The name was parish of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The emergency church on the Kummenaedestraat was put into use on 3 July 1949. Two years later, on 20 April 1951, the foundation stone was laid for the permanent church. The consecration took place on 14 May 1953. In January 2010, the Resurrection Church (Potterstraat) was closed for worship. The reason was that the number of volunteers was declining due to the ageing population. In addition, there were no funds to maintain the building. The purpose of the building is not yet known. The Christus Koningkerk (Kluis 19) is still in use in 2016.
