Oude Jacobuskerk, Religious monument in Schipluiden, Netherlands

The Oude Jacobuskerk building features a symmetrical architectural design with Greek temple influences and white-painted exterior walls alongside large arched windows.

Architect Arend Roodenburg completed the construction of Oude Jacobuskerk in 1840, replacing a hidden church that served Catholics during times of religious restrictions.

The church transformed from a religious sanctuary to a community center in 1963, offering space for educational programs and local gatherings.

Located along the River Gaag, the building maintains regular opening hours for visitors who want to explore its architectural features and historical exhibits.

The interior ceiling contains detailed paintings created by artist Ruud Krijnen in 2006, adding contemporary artistry to this nineteenth-century structure.
