Basiliek Kruisverheffing, Neo-Gothic basilica in Raalte, Netherlands

The Basilica of the Holy Cross features a 79-meter-tall tower and incorporates three naves built with brick architecture following Neo-Gothic principles.

Constructed in 1892 by architect Wilhelm Victor Alfred Tepe, this church replaced a wooden structure from the 12th century that served the local Catholic community.

The building received the title of basilica minor in 1992, marking its centennial celebration and reinforcing its position in the Catholic hierarchy.

Located at Kerkstraat 8, the basilica contains a mechanical clock tower and houses an Adema organ transferred from Sint Michaelskerk in Zwolle.

The structure earned the nickname Cathedral of Salland and displays architectural elements influenced by Saint Lambert's Church in Münster.
