H.H. Petrus en Paulus

Leidschendam, NL

Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul, built around 1880 to a design by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891) (pupil of Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921)), in collaboration with (presumably) his brother AAJ Margry and JM Snickers, to replace a predecessor that had become too small. Three-aisled cruciform basilica in the characteristic and recurring style of the Margrys, inspired by early French Gothic, but in this case entirely in neo-Romanesque, round-arched shapes. Asymmetrical front with tower on the right corner, on the waterfront (see images below), simple staircase tower on the other corner. Internally covered by wooden barrel vaults (main naves). Stone cross vaults over the side aisles. The design shows many similarities with that of the H. Hartkerk in Rotterdam from the same period, also designed by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891), also neo-Romanesque, which was destroyed in the bombing of 1940 (the most important neo-Romanesque church by Evert Margry (1841 - 1891), however, was the St. Monicakerk in Utrecht, which was demolished in 1977).
