St Peter Canisius Church, Nijmegen, Roman Catholic church in central Nijmegen, Netherlands.
The church combines neo-Gothic elements from the original construction with post-war traditionalist architecture, featuring a modern portico at the entrance on Molenstraat.
The site evolved from a 14th-century Augustinian monastery to the current structure, which was rebuilt after substantial damage during the 1944 Nijmegen bombing.
The interior holds artworks including stained glass windows and a life-sized nativity scene created by local artist Wim van Woerkom and his daughter Jehanne.
The church contains office spaces, a shop, and a reception area on a concrete balcony above the main entrance, making it accessible for various community functions.
A memorial chapel displays portraits of priests Titus Brandsma and Robert Regout, who died in Dachau, alongside the relics of Petrus Canisius under the altar.
