Cathedral of Saint Bavo, Roman Catholic cathedral in Haarlem, Netherlands
The Cathedral of Saint Bavo exhibits Romanesque Revival and Art Nouveau architectural elements, with two prominent towers reaching towards the sky at its western facade.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1895 under architect Joseph Cuypers, with the completion of towers delayed until 1927 due to financial limitations.
The cathedral houses a museum in its former sacristy, displaying historical artifacts and ecclesiastical garments that represent Haarlem's Catholic heritage.
The cathedral maintains a capacity of 1,100 people and serves as the main cathedral for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam.
The building incorporates Byzantine influences in its neo-romanesque design, featuring intricate stone work and detailed architectural ornaments throughout its structure.
