Goirkese kerk, Catholic church in Goirke district, Tilburg, Netherlands

The Goirkese Kerk stands with three naves under a saddle roof, featuring a west facade divided into three sections with pointed arch windows.

Construction of the church started in 1835 to replace a stone barn church from 1725, receiving financial support of 25,000 guilders from King Willem I.

The church interior contains nineteen stained glass windows and a neoclassical main altar, with a wooden pulpit dating back to 1853.

The building at Goirkestraat 68 includes separate spaces in both north and south transepts for choir practice, meetings, and winter religious services.

The church holds a special connection to Peerke Donders, who celebrated his first mass there, commemorated by two dedicated windows in the structure.
