Heilig Kruiskerk, Modern church in De Kruiskamp, Amersfoort, Netherlands.
The Heilig Kruiskerk is a modern church in Amersfoort built with glass and concrete in a minimalist style. A freestanding tower marks the exterior, while large glass surfaces inside allow light to fill the worship space.
The building was designed in 1958 by architect Herman van Wissen and originally served Roman Catholics. In 2021 the congregation changed when Baptists took over the worship space.
The building shows how religious spaces changed after World War II, embracing contemporary forms while maintaining their purpose as places of worship. Inside, you experience how modern architecture can still feel like a setting for community and faith.
The building sits near Ringweg Kruiskamp and has several entrances around its perimeter. Visitors should check ahead as opening times depend on the congregation's activities and services.
The glass surfaces create shifting light patterns inside that change throughout the day and alter how the space feels. This moving illumination is a deliberate design choice that keeps the worship area dynamic.
