The Hague Netherlands Temple, Mormon temple in Zoetermeer, Netherlands
The Hague Netherlands Temple is a place of worship featuring white granite walls and a single spire topped with an angel Moroni statue as its distinctive marker. Inside there are two instruction rooms and two sealing chambers designed for religious ceremonies and rituals.
The structure was built following a groundbreaking ceremony in 2000 and opened to the public in 2002. Its construction marked an important expansion of religious infrastructure for faith communities across the region.
The temple serves as a spiritual center for over 13,000 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the Netherlands, Belgium, and parts of France who gather here for religious practice and worship.
The temple is easily accessible by car or bicycle thanks to an underground parking facility for 40 cars and numerous bike storage areas. Ceremonies are conducted in multiple languages, making it welcoming for visitors from different regions.
The building sits below sea level in Zoetermeer, a municipality whose name means Sweet Lake, making this an unusual location for a religious structure. This geographical characteristic makes it a notable example of construction in the Dutch lowlands.
