Sint-Jacobus de Meerderekerk, Neo-Gothic Catholic church in The Hague, Netherlands
The Sint-Jacobus de Meerderekerk features a three-aisled cruciform basilica structure with a hexagonal spire reaching 94 meters into the skyline of The Hague.
Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers designed this Catholic church, which was constructed between 1875 and 1878 as part of the neo-Gothic architectural movement in the Netherlands.
The church holds regular organ concerts featuring its main instrument, relocated from Spaarnekerk in Haarlem in 1978, and a secondary altar organ installed in 2016.
The church building accommodates 1,105 people and can be reached by public transportation using lines 1, 22, and 24, stopping at the Mauritskade station.
The church incorporates buttresses on the interior walls for space optimization and contains detailed polychrome decorations that made it the most expensive Dutch church of the 19th century.
