The Sint-Petrus'-Bandenkerk
The church name "Sint-Petrus'-Bandenkerk" refers to a Roman Catholic church located in Bladel, North Brabant, Netherlands.
- Address: Sniederslaan 46, 5531 EL Bladel, Netherlands
- This church is part of the Diocese of 's-Hertogenbosch and serves the community of Bladel and surrounding areas.
The Sint-Petrus'-Bandenkerk in Bladel is a building designed by Hubert van Groenendael in 1925-1926, constructed on behalf of Pastor M. Simkens.
- The church was built in the garden of the parsonage.
- Its predecessor was a neo-gothic basilica from 1880, designed by Peter Bekkers, with a tower attached that dated back to the 15th century.
- This tower was demolished in 1927, but the remaining tower was preserved.
- The current church is a large eclectic-style church with several notable cupola towers, including one slightly taller tower on the cruciform crossing.
The architect of this church was Hubert van Groenendael. It is considered an transitional building between neo-gothic and the Amsterdam School.
- The vault of the church is painted with depictions of the Works of Mercy.
- There are glass-in-loose windows that depict the Apostles.
The three-aisled neo-gothic church at Sniederslaan 46 is a national monument.
- The building is listed in the monument register as "of cultural-historical importance as an exceptional expression of the development of Catholicism in the south" and is also important as an example of the typological development of the folk church during the interbellum period, particularly due to its three towers.
