Sint-Jacobuskerk, Catholic church in Zuilen district, Utrecht, Netherlands.
Sint-Jacobuskerk is a church in the Zuilen district built with a clear architectural design based on Romanesque basilica principles. The interior follows traditional patterns with a central worship space and straightforward altar arrangement.
Architect H.W. Valk designed the building, with construction drawings completed in October 1953. The church was consecrated in 1957 and served as a Catholic place of worship for many decades.
The space now serves an evangelical community that has brought new purpose to the building. This shift reflects how religious congregations adapt when their needs and identities evolve over time.
The church is located at Sint Jacobsstraat 171 and is accessible by standard routes through the neighborhood. Visitors should check opening hours for services and events before planning their visit.
This is the third Catholic church built in Zuilen, following the Ludgeruskerk and the temporary Salvator chapel. The construction of three Catholic houses of worship in the same neighborhood shows how the Catholic community in this area expanded over time.
