Sint-Josephkerk, Modern church in Amsterdam-West, Netherlands
The Sint-Josephkerk stands as a concrete structure with exposed pillars, trough vaults, and batten-style facades designed by architect Gerard Holt.
Built between 1950 and 1952 during the post-war reconstruction period, this church initially served 1,130 people before its transformation into different community spaces.
The church features a large ceiling painting by artist Marius de Leeuw depicting a phoenix, representing Christ through religious symbolism.
Located at Erik De Roodestraat 14 in Amsterdam, this former church building now functions as a children's play area following extensive renovations.
Sint-Josephkerk marks one of the first Catholic churches in the Netherlands constructed entirely from concrete due to financial constraints.
