Sint-Jozefkerk, Enschede, Catholic church in Enschede, Netherlands.

The Sint-Jozefkerk features a 77-meter-high tower against its front facade and consists of three naves with seven bays in Gothic Revival style.

The church was built between 1893 and 1894 to provide religious services for textile workers who came to work in Enschede during the late 19th century.

Interior murals created by artist Joan Collette represent a significant contribution to early 20th-century Dutch art, with all original paintings preserved within the church.

Located at Oldenzaalsestraat 115, the church functions as the Eucharistic Center of the Enschede city parish Sint-Jacobus de Meerdere since September 2014.

During construction, specific guidelines mandated minimum wages for workers, ranging from 13 cents for porters to 17 cents per hour for masons.
