San Salvatorkerk, Catholic church in southern Groningen, Netherlands

The San Salvatorkerk stands at the intersection of Hora Siccamasingel and Van Iddekingeweg, featuring a three-aisled structure with an elevated central nave and semi-circular apse.

The church construction occurred between 1951 and 1962, designed by architect Cornelis Pouderoyen from Nijmegen, though the planned tower remained unrealized due to financial limitations.

The name San Salvator connects to local identity, as Helpman residents were called Helpers, drawing a parallel between San Salvator and the term Great Helper.

Located at coordinates 53.197622, 6.575156, the church marks the boundary between the neighborhoods of Helpman and De Wijert, serving the Catholic community.

The dome of the apse contains a large painting of Christ as the Redeemer, created by Utrecht artist Lambert Simon during the church's second construction phase.
