Oegstgeest, NL
Iconic neo-Gothic church with a tower placed sideways, next to the choir. Around 1900, the church from 1772 became too small and it was decided to build a new church and parsonage. The architectural firm Cuypers/Stuyt was commissioned to do this. Father Cuypers was the builder of the Central Station and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Son Cuypers built the new St. Bavo Cathedral in Haarlem. The Holy Willibrord Church was therefore not built by just anyone. The church is a fine example of neo-Gothic church architecture from that period.
