Sint-Franciscuskerk, Catholic church in Groningen, Netherlands.
The Sint-Franciscuskerk features a Latin cross layout with a high tower decorated with rounded arch friezes and triplet windows throughout its structure.
The church, completed in 1934, replaced an earlier hidden church from 1730 known as the Boomkerk, which was demolished to make way for a department store.
Several religious artifacts and sculptures from the former Boomkerk were preserved and integrated into the new church building during its construction.
The church maintains its original wooden benches, ceramic holy water fonts, and tiled floors, while connecting to the rectory through a passage on the northwest side.
The building combines red and yellow bricks in its masonry, creating a distinctive pattern that emphasizes its structural elements and architectural design.
