Sint-Laurentiuskerk, Weesp, Neo-Gothic Catholic church at Herengracht, Weesp, Netherlands

The Sint-Laurentiuskerk features three naves in a cruciform layout with a tower reaching 67 meters high and decorated stained glass windows throughout the structure.

The church construction started in April 1875 under architect Theo Asseler's direction, with initial completion of only the lower tower section due to financial limitations.

Frans Nicolas created detailed stained glass windows in 1911, while Pieter van Velzen added seven additional glass panels between 1950 and 1960 in the chancel.

Following renovation in 2020, the building houses a brewery, yoga center, offices, residences, and hotel rooms, with dedicated parking spaces inside the structure.

After a fire destroyed the church tower in November 2016, the community rebuilt it completely and reinstalled it exactly two years later to the day.
