Sint Georgiusbasiliek, Almelo, Minor basilica in Almelo, Netherlands.

The Gothic Revival church features a 73-meter-high tower that stands as a central element in the Almelo cityscape.

Architect Wolter te Riele designed this cross-shaped basilica, which was constructed between 1900 and 1902 following neo-Gothic architectural principles.

The main altar and Mary altar inside the basilica originate from Friedrich Wilhelm Mengelberg's workshop, displaying detailed religious craftsmanship.

The Sint Georgiusbasiliek received its official designation as a minor basilica in 2009 and maintains protected status as a national monument.

The medieval baptismal font from the 14th century, transferred from the former church at Kerkplein, remains preserved within the basilica.
