Petrus en Pauluskerk, Maassluis, Roman Catholic church in Maassluis, Netherlands
The Petrus en Pauluskerk features a steel skeleton covered with PVDF foil, creating a modern architectural structure near the Nieuwe Waterweg waterway.
The church emerged from a design competition initiated by the Diocese of Rotterdam in 1996, with architects Mari Baauw and René Olivier winning the project.
The western wall incorporates a matte glass panel displaying the opening text of the Gospel of John in transparent letters designed by Stef Hagemeier.
Located at Andreasplein 1 in Maassluis, the church accommodates 297 worshippers in an elliptical seating arrangement for regular services and community gatherings.
The church design draws comparisons to the Sydney Opera House, leading locals to nickname it 'Sydney aan de Waterweg' due to its futuristic appearance.
