Kolpinghuis Nijmegen, Gothic Revival meeting center in Nijmegen, Netherlands.

The Kolpinghuis features pointed arches, steep rooflines, and detailed stone carvings characteristic of nineteenth-century Dutch ecclesiastical architecture.

Architect Pierre Cuypers designed this structure in 1883 for the Catholic Association of Journeymen, following his work on the Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam Central Station.

The building functioned as a gathering place for Catholic groups, reflecting the strong religious influence in Dutch society during the nineteenth century.

Located at the intersection of Smetiusstraat, the center provides spaces for meetings, conferences, and community events throughout the year.

Local residents nicknamed the building 'de klep' as it became a popular meeting spot where numerous Nijmegen couples first encountered each other.
