Sint-Urbanuskerk, Catholic church in Duivendrecht, Netherlands

The Sint-Urbanuskerk features two distinct towers with three sections each, constructed using robust stone and incorporating semicircular arches throughout its design.

The church site originated as a chapel in 1350, received permission for Mass celebrations from Pope Pius II in 1461, and underwent closure during the Reformation.

The interior of Sint-Urbanuskerk contains a nineteenth-century pulpit and bells cast by Petit and Fritsen foundry in Aarle-Rixtel.

Located adjacent to Duivendrecht station, the Sint-Urbanuskerk marks the beginning point of the Bordjesroute historical walking path through the village.

The church survived potential demolition in the 1970s during the construction of the train station through the efforts of Pastor Laan.
