Laurentiuskerk, Catholic church in Heemskerk, Netherlands.
The Laurentiuskerk features a 54-meter crossing tower with wooden construction protected by zinc, alongside polygonal stair towers at the front facade.
The church, built between 1889 and 1891 by architect Jos Tonnaer, replaced a smaller Waterstaatskerk from 1847 at the eastern edge of town.
The interior contains stations of the cross from 1871 and a 17th-century painting depicting the martyrdom of Saint Laurentius.
Regular religious services take place throughout the week, with updates and schedules posted on the parish website for community reference.
The wooden tower structure covered in zinc marks an unusual architectural choice in Dutch religious buildings, leading to its national monument status.
