Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, Neo-Byzantine domed church in Helmond, Netherlands

The Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk features a 53-meter tower, parabolic spire, and architectural elements that combine both Eastern and Western religious design influences.

Construction began in 1914 under architects Albert and Jos Margry, with the first phase including the choir and transept, followed by a 20-meter nave extension in 1925.

The church contains notable murals created by Limburgian artist Charles Eyck between 1940 and 1949, representing religious and artistic expression of the period.

Since 2014, the building functions as Theater Het Speelhuis, transforming from a religious space into a cultural venue following the parish's departure in 2012.

The church required two construction phases due to financial constraints, with weekly contributions from parishioners funding the second phase of development.
