Sint-Calixtusbasiliek, Minor basilica in Groenlo, Netherlands.

The Sint-Calixtusbasiliek exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and ornamental details designed by architect Joseph Cuypers.

The church construction began in 1906 and was completed in 1908, replacing an older water state church that had become insufficient for the growing Catholic community.

The basilica received its elevated status from Pope Francis in 2014, marking its importance as a religious center in the Achterhoek region of Gelderland.

Visitors can climb the tower until 15:45 during opening hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, offering views extending over 20 kilometers.

The basilica features an Adema organ, transferred from De Liefde church in Amsterdam and installed in 1993, enhancing its musical capabilities.
