Oosterkerk, Reformed church in Oosterpark, Netherlands

The Oosterkerk features yellow-gray brick construction with three steep gables covered in black-glazed Dutch tiles and parabolic windows containing colored stained glass.

Built between 1927 and 1929, architects Jan Kuiler and Lucas Drewes designed the church following the expressionist architecture influences of the Amsterdam School movement.

The church building reflects the religious heritage of Groningen through its central worship space, exposed wooden ceilings, and Amsterdam School style lighting fixtures.

Located at the intersection of S.S. Rosensteinlaan and Thomassen à Thuessinklaan, the church provides seating for 1116 people in its multi-angled floor plan.

The structure incorporates a spire-like roof element at the intersection of three roofs, complemented by stubby towers with bulbous zinc-covered caps between facades.
