Sint-Antonius van Paduakerk, Roman Catholic church in Blerick, Netherlands
Sint-Antonius van Paduakerk is a church building with modernist design and a freestanding tower that accommodates roughly one thousand worshippers in its main hall. The interior layout supports both religious services and community gatherings.
An original neo-gothic church from 1899 occupied this site before its destruction in 1944 during World War II. The current building was rebuilt in 1962 with a contemporary architectural approach.
The church serves the local Catholic community as a gathering place for regular worship and spiritual life. It remains an important landmark where residents mark religious occasions and come together throughout the year.
The church is located on Antoniuslaan and welcomes both worshippers and visitors throughout the week. Check opening times in advance, as they may change depending on religious services and special events.
The building features stained glass windows created by artist Wilmy Peeters that blend contemporary construction methods with traditional religious artistry. These artistic elements stand out within the otherwise austere modern architecture.
