Sint Barbara, Catholic church in Breda, Netherlands

The five-aisled cruciform basilica features round windows in the central aisle and a square tower positioned on the crossing of the church structure.

Architect Pierre Cuypers designed the church in 1860, which later became the cathedral of Breda diocese in 1876 before its demolition in 1969.

The church interior contained carved elements, capitals, and stained glass windows crafted in specialized workshops under the direct supervision of Cuypers in Roermond.

The construction materials included brick walls, stone window tracery, columns made of SawnnieVe, and Belgian granite for doorway steps and lintels.

A large triforium matching the height of the nave arcade extended as a gallery over the inner aisles, topped by a clearstory with rope windows.
