Sint Catharinakerk, 's Hertogenbosch, Byzantine Revival church in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
Sint Catharinakerk is a Byzantine Revival church in 's Hertogenbosch, distinguished by a central dome spanning 22 meters and two front towers. The interior features paintings by Pieter-Jozef Verhaghen from the 18th century and a ceiling work by Jan Oosterman.
The church began in 1533 as a Gothic structure and underwent major transformations, first becoming a Waterstaatskerk in 1842 and taking its current Byzantine form in 1918. These shifts show how the building adapted to changing needs across several centuries.
The building now serves the Armenian Apostolic community, whose presence shapes daily use of the spaces. Visitors can sense how contemporary worship blends with the artistic heritage visible throughout the interior.
Access is through the courtyard at Kruisbroedershof, and the space now serves the Armenian Apostolic community, so it is best to inquire about visiting conditions beforehand. Recent renovations brought modern heating and electrical systems throughout the building.
The original medieval choir from the 16th century spans across the Binnen-Dieze waterway, creating an unusual connection between the building and water below. Most visitors overlook this striking architectural detail that reveals how medieval builders solved spatial challenges.
