Sint-Jan-de-Doperkerk, Neoclassical church in Schiedam, Netherlands.

Sint-Jan-de-Doperkerk is a neoclassical church in Schiedam featuring four Doric columns at its entrance portico. The interior is organized by Ionic columns and arcades that structure the worship space.

The church was built between 1822 and 1824 as a Roman Catholic parish building under architect Adrianus Tollus. After 1967 the building shifted to other religious uses following its original purpose.

The name refers to John the Baptist, the church's patron saint. Visitors today encounter a simple interior shaped by classical columns that creates space for quiet reflection.

The church sits at Lange Haven 72 in central Schiedam and is easy to reach on foot. The exterior was thoroughly restored in 2011 to 2012 and remains in good condition.

The building houses a pipe organ built by Pieter Maarschalkerweerd in 1875 that shapes the interior acoustically. This rare instrument is among the details visitors often pass by without noticing.
