Sint-Calixtusbasiliek

Sint-Calixtusbasiliek, Minor basilica in Groenlo, Netherlands.

Sint-Calixtusbasiliek is a church in Groenlo that displays Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches and ribbed vaults throughout its structure. The building was designed by architect Joseph Cuypers and features elaborate ornamental details characteristic of this architectural style.

Construction of this church began in 1906 and was completed in 1908 to better serve the growing Catholic community. It replaced an older church building that had become too small for the increasing number of worshippers.

The basilica serves as a central place of Catholic faith in the region, where the community gathers for worship and spiritual observance. Its role reflects the deep religious roots of the Achterhoek area and continues to shape local religious life today.

The tower can be climbed on certain days to enjoy views over the surrounding landscape. It is helpful to check ahead for specific opening times, as access is limited to particular days.

The church houses an Adema organ that was transferred from a church in Amsterdam and installed in 1993. This instrument brings notable musical quality to the interior and represents an interesting example of heritage preservation through relocation.
