Groenestraatkerk, Rijksmonument church in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
The Groenestraatkerk is a substantial brick building standing at the corner of Groenestraat in a residential area of Nijmegen. Its design follows traditional church architecture with a steep roof, regular window placement for interior light, and solid masonry construction typical of early 20th century Dutch religious buildings.
The building was constructed in 1910 by architect Albert Margry, who specialized in religious structures throughout the Netherlands. This church formed part of his extensive work designing houses of worship for communities across the country.
The church functions as a gathering space for the Sint-Antoniusparochie community to hold services and local events. Its solid brick form has shaped how residents experience their neighborhood for generations.
The building sits on Groenestraat in an easily accessible residential area of Nijmegen where pedestrians can approach on foot without difficulty. Visitors should plan their visit outside of service times, as this remains an active place of worship for the community.
The building gained status as a registered national monument in 2002, placing it on the official list of protected heritage sites in the Netherlands. This designation recognizes its architectural quality and importance to the country's building heritage.
