Sint-Dominicuskerk

The Sint-Dominicuskerk combines concrete, natural stone, brick, and glass materials in its construction, featuring a main altar and a 560-seat nave for Sunday services.

Built between 1959 and 1960 by architect Evert Kraaijvanger, the church emerged during Rotterdam's reconstruction period following the destruction of World War II.

The church displays a notable stained-glass concrete wall created by Berend Hendriks, depicting the Biblical Exodus story in vivid detail across its eight-meter width.

Located at Hang 18 in central Rotterdam, the church offers rental spaces for various activities while maintaining its primary function as a religious gathering place.

The church complex includes a stone garden with green flowerbeds, a hexagonal baptistery, and stands beside the only remaining canal in Rotterdam.
