Sint-Willibrorduskerk buiten de Veste, Neo-Gothic church in De Pijp district, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Sint-Willibrorduskerk buiten de Veste displayed French Gothic influences with ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and an octagonal crossing tower reaching 60 meters high.
Construction began in 1871 under architect Pierre Cuypers, with initial sections completed by 1873, while the nave and transept were added between 1890 and 1897.
The church represented the dominant architectural style for Catholic buildings following the restoration of episcopal hierarchy in the Netherlands during 1853.
The structure operated from 1873 until 1966, when structural problems from heavy traffic on Ceintuurbaan street led to its permanent closure.
The original design included plans for six towers, making it potentially the largest neo-Gothic church in the Netherlands at 100 meters length.
