Pastoor van Arskerk

The church building stands on a 48 by 40 meter plot near a wooded area, featuring cylindrical volumes and concrete block walls throughout its structure.

Architect Aldo van Eyck received the commission in 1963 and completed the construction in 1969, collaborating with Benedictine monk Dom Hans van der Laan.

The structure incorporates three interlocking rooms, including a sanctuary and community space, following the golden section proportions in its architectural design.

The church accommodates 400 worshippers regularly, with additional capacity for 200 more visitors during summer months when beach tourists frequent the area.

Two cylindrical chapels mark the entrance points, interrupting the flat concrete surface and creating a distinctive architectural pattern in the building's exterior.
