The Al-Fourqaan Mosque is a mosque in the Dutch city of Eindhoven , at Otterstraat 2. This mosque, which is named after Surah The Distinction ( Arabic : الفرقان al-Furqān) from the Quran , serves, among others, the Moroccan Islamic community and is part of the Moroccan Waqf foundation in the same city, which was established in 1993.
Large, oriented neo-Gothic church with graceful high tower (76 m), the second highest church tower in Eindhoven (the highest church tower in Eindhoven is that of the St. Joriskerk, 87.5 m). Built to replace the old St. Petruskerk in Woensel, to (now in the) north of Eindhoven. Of that historical church, "De Oude Toren" still exists, to the east of this St. Petruskerk. This is one of 4 large monumental Van Tulder churches that were built in a short period of time in the Diocese of 's-Hertogenbosch, and were inspired in terms of interior by the Cathedral Basilica of St. John in 's-Hertogenbosch. The other 3 are the OL Vrouw Imbachtig Ontvangen in Oss, the St. Jozefkerk in Tilburg (Heuvel) and the Maria Geboorte in Vlijmen (the most monumental Van Tulder church is however the later built St. Joriskerk in Eindhoven-Stratum).
Small, recognizable as a church, modern building, without tower, near a large and interesting Roman Catholic cemetery. Officially in use as "district church St. Paulus" within the Roman Catholic parish of Woensel-Zuid. Replaced the large St. Paulus church that was decommissioned in 1995 and demolished in the spring of 1996. Due to good ancillary spaces also in active use as a community center.
Modern church hall.
