Sint-Jansbasiliek, Laren, Gothic Revival church in Laren, Netherlands.
Sint-Jansbasiliek is a Gothic Revival church with a square tower topped by an octagonal section that dominates the village skyline. The building is constructed of brick with large windows that flood the interior with natural light.
Architect Wolter te Riele designed and completed this church in 1925. It was built during a period when Gothic Revival style was experiencing renewed popularity and modern construction methods were being applied.
The basilica serves as a gathering place for Catholic worship in the region today. Pilgrims visit for special religious occasions and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.
The main entrance is located on Brink Street with parking spaces nearby for visitors. Access may be limited during services, so it is best to check ahead if you plan to visit and explore the interior.
The church displays remarkable brickwork with wide-span vaults that represented a technical innovation of the 1920s. This structural achievement was impressive for its era and shows how brick could be used in modern, ambitious ways.
