Sint-Nicolaasbasiliek, Gothic Revival basilica in IJsselstein, Netherlands.

The Sint-Nicolaasbasiliek exhibits a three-nave hall church design with pointed arches, intricate stone details, and medieval-inspired architectural elements throughout its 52-meter length.

Following the Reformation in 1577, when Catholics lost their original church, the community conducted services in secret locations until this basilica was constructed between 1885 and 1887.

The interior features works by Wilhelm Friedrich Mengelberg, including a colorful high altar from 1893, stations of the cross from 1888, and numerous saint statues.

The basilica maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features at Kronenburgplantsoen in the center of IJsselstein.

The church houses a medieval statue of Our Lady of Eiteren, which returns annually to its discovery site through a procession involving the entire community.
