Queen's church, Art Deco church in Crooswijk, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The Queen's Church featured two copper spires that rose above the Rotterdam skyline and contained 1,750 seats within its brick walls.
Constructed between 1904 and 1907, the church received financial support from the Van Dam sisters who also funded other religious buildings in Rotterdam.
From 1940 to 1966, the building functioned as a concert venue for the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra after their original location was destroyed.
The building was demolished in 1972 despite public protests, and the site now houses the Hoppesteyn nursing home and Koninginnetoren apartment complex.
In 2013, the Netherlands newspaper Nederlands Dagblad named the Queen's Church as the most beautiful demolished church in the country.
