Saint Anne Church

The church building features a concrete skeleton structure with an octagonal tambour supporting a central dome and round-arched windows throughout its exterior walls.

Architects Frits Peutz and Hendrik Teeken designed the church in 1939, but World War II delayed construction until 1952, with completion achieved in 1953.

The church contains seventeen stained glass windows created by artist Daan Wildschut between 1954 and 1979, depicting contemporary saints and religious figures.

The Saint Anne Church maintains its position as an active place of worship at Bekkerveld 15 in Heerlen, with coordinates 50°52'44.00"N and 5°58'54.98"E.

The building stands as part of the Top 100 Dutch Monuments from 1940-1958, representing early use of reinforced concrete in religious architecture.
