Pelikaankerk

Roman Catholic Church of St. Dominic, part of the COMPLEX of the CHURCH and PARSONAGE. Church with baptismal chapel, sacristy and auxiliary sacristy, built in 1935-1937 by the architects HCM van Beers from Huis ter Heide and AH Witteveen from Leeuwarden. The style is Delft School with influences from Kropholler and Scandinavia. It is a Christocentric church with a wide central nave and side aisles, which only serve as traffic areas. The church and sacristy have not undergone any notable changes, the auxiliary sacristy and the halls have undergone some adjustments. The parsonage now has a different purpose, but is still in its original condition, except for the window frames and the colours in the interior.
