Paradijskerk, Baroque revival church in Oude Westen, Netherlands.

The Paradijskerk features two symmetrical towers reaching 50 meters in height and displays intricate marble decorations throughout its interior design.

Built in 1908 by architect Petrus Augustinus Weeldenburg, this church replaced an older structure that had become structurally unsound at its previous Delftsevaart location.

The church preserves 18th-century wooden sculptures, including an altar created between 1720-1725 by Flemish master craftsman Alexander Dominicus Pluskens.

The church holds regular Sunday services at 10 AM with Dutch ceremonies and English translations, while remaining open for visitors during scheduled hours.

The building survived the 1940 Rotterdam bombardment, making its preserved interior decorations from the 1700s exceptionally rare in the city.
