Sint-Jan de Doperkerk, Catholic church in Wateringen, Netherlands
Sint-Jan de Doperkerk features a three-aisled pseudo-basilica design with a 60-meter tower, decorated with front-facing corner pinnacles and stone ribbed vaults.
The church construction began on July 17, 1900, replacing a former religious structure from 1807, and was completed with its consecration on June 1, 1901.
The interior contains an oak passion cross from 1900 displaying the Arma Christi and stained glass windows created by the Utrecht firm W. van de Wurf.
The church maintains regular religious services and ceremonies for the Catholic community of Wateringen and Wateringse Veld as part of Sint Elisabethparochie.
During World War II, a German bomb damaged several stained glass windows in 1941, which remained unrestored until 1984.
