Our Lady of Sorrows church

Our Lady of Sorrows church, Parish church in Floresta, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Our Lady of Sorrows church stands on Rua Silva Jardim at Avenida do Contorno in the Floresta neighborhood. Built in 1930, it has an eclectic style mixing Gothic and Romanesque references, with a single tower reaching 61.8 meters, the tallest church tower in Belo Horizonte. Its facade has pointed-arch doors, and the interior is divided by thick columns linked by pointed arches, with transparent glazing and colored stained glass.

The parish was created on 25 December 1927 by decree of Archbishop Dom Antonio dos Santos Cabral, and the church was built in 1930. Its design was given by Dutch architect Marino Vergouwen to Father Severino Severens in 1921, after being used for a church in Bergen-op-Zoom.

The church serves as a gathering place where locals come together for masses and religious festivals throughout the year. It holds an important place in the spiritual life of the Floresta neighborhood and its residents.

The church is easily accessible and sits in a well-connected residential area near the city center. Visitors should respect the regular service times and plan visits accordingly to accommodate ongoing religious activities.

The design was donated by Dutch architect Marino Vergouwen to Father Severino Severens during a 1921 trip to the Netherlands, and had already been used for a church in Bergen op Zoom. The single tower rises 61.8 metres, the tallest of any church in Belo Horizonte until the Catedral Cristo Rei is completed.
