OLV Tenhemelopneming, Neo-Gothic Catholic church in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The three-nave basilica follows traditional architectural principles with a prominent tower on the eastern side and features pointed arch windows throughout its structure.

Built between 1893 and 1894 by architect Alfred Tepe, this church replaced an earlier structure from 1739 known as 't Boompje shelter church.

The interior contained artistic elements including an altar by Otto Mengelberg and medallions depicting episodes from Mary's life, some of which remain preserved.

The church ceased operations in February 1972 due to declining attendance and financial difficulties, leading to its demolition and replacement with apartments.

The original 1810 two-manual organ survived the demolition and found a new home in Utrecht's Saint Aloysius Church in 1993.
