Breepleinkerk

The Breepleinkerk stands at the intersection of Randweg and Breeweg, featuring brick construction and architectural elements from the 1930s period.

During World War II, the church provided a secret hiding space behind the organ where Jewish families found refuge for nearly three years.

The building represents a significant example of Dutch religious architecture from the interwar period, designed by architect Hendrik Sutterland in 1929.

Monthly guided tours of the church and its historic attic spaces occur on the first or second Saturday at 11:00 AM, with admission at 12.50 euros.

In May 1940, the church transformed into an emergency hospital when patients from the nearby Zuiderziekenhuis needed evacuation during the Battle of Waalhaven.
