Johannes de Doperkerk, Catholic church in Noord-Scharwoude, Netherlands.

The red brick Johannes de Doperkerk rises 56 meters high with its square tower, featuring an octagonal spire and small dormers along its structure.

Architect Peter Bekkers designed this neo-Gothic church as his final major project, completing construction between 1905 and 1906 in the Langedijk municipality.

The interior displays seven types of marble and sandstone in its high altar, complemented by polished granite columns imported from Sweden.

The church accommodates 1000 worshippers and maintains an active Catholic parish serving the entire Langedijk municipal area, including five connected villages.

Two organs grace the church interior: a 1917 Jos Vermeulen choir organ and an 1880 Forster & Andrews organ transferred from an Anglican church.
