Sint-Annakerk, Roman Catholic church in Amstelveen, Netherlands.
Sint-Annakerk is a church in Amstelveen featuring red brick construction and a single-nave layout that blends Romanesque and Gothic design elements. Slender towers define its exterior and create a distinctive silhouette.
The building was designed in 1927 by architects J.P.L. Hendriks and H.C.M. van Beers and consecrated in 1928 as the town's first parish church. It was built during a period when the settlement was expanding and needed new religious spaces.
The interior contains marble furnishings and stained glass windows created by artist Joep Nicolas in the 1920s. These pieces reflect the spiritual artistic traditions that shaped the religious life of the congregation.
The building is located at Amsterdamseweg 20 and now serves as a brewery and entertainment venue after being deconsecrated in 2011. Visitors should check ahead to confirm access based on current events or activities.
The structure sustained major damage during a severe storm in 1976 and lost its entire roof. The swift reconstruction reflects the importance this first parish church held for the community.
