Heilige Vitus

Hilversum, NL

Neo-Gothic church with cathedral allure, and with a high tower. The Sint-Vitus was consecrated in 1892. This neo-Gothic cruciform basilica was designed by PJH Cuypers. The tower is 98 metres high and is one of the 4 highest church towers in the Netherlands *. The church stands on the site of the former clandestine church from 1786. Important elements in the interior are the wooden vault, the stained glass windows and the colourful brick patterns in the masonry. The Van den Brink organ from 1859 and the painted Stations of the Cross are also valuable.

Heilige Vitus

Dedemsvaart, NL

Replaced a church from 1819. Three-aisled neo-Gothic hall church with a sober square west tower, crowned by a constricted spire. Characteristic early work from the oeuvre of WVA Tepe (1840-1920). The side aisle bays are provided with hipped roofs, which betrays the influence of the late Lower Rhine and Westphalian Gothic. In 1929 the church was extended with a new transept and choir, designed by HCM van Beers.

Heilige Walburga

Maastricht, NL

The Sint-Walburgakerk was built between 1864 - 1867 as a Roman Catholic parish in the former village of Amby. The neo-Gothic church is listed a municipal monument of the Netherlands.

Heilige Willehadus

Emmer-Compascuum, NL

The current church replaced the older, neo-Gothic church from 1889. Consecrated in 1924. In the years 1989 to 2004 the church was restored; the roof surfaces, except for the tower, were provided with a new slate covering. The stained glass windows of the church, except for the tower, were completely restored. At the beginning of June 2004 the church was reopened with many festivities. (52-04) This church building, in terms of exterior, looks a lot like the (demolished in 1982) Roman Catholic Church St. Gerardus Majella in The Hague, designed by J. Stuyt,

Heilige Willibrordus

Heilige Willibrordus

Arnhem, NL

The church building dates from 1941, which was of course a strange time to build a church. On the other hand, it was not yet known at that time whether the German occupation would be permanent.

Heilige Willibrordus

Boskamp, NL

The current church dates from 1860 and is a typical work in the oeuvre of HJ Wennekers, built under the influence of the so-called stucco Gothic style.
