History
The church was built between 1874 and 1875 under architect Wilhelm Victor Alfred Tepe. Archbishop Schaepman laid the foundation stone on May 11, 1874.
Culture
The interior displays works by various regional artists and features an organ facade that originally came from a chapel in Amsterdam. Walking through the space, you can see how these artistic pieces shape the character of the room.
Practical
