The Sint-Bavokerk

The Sint-Bavokerk is a Roman Catholic church located in Ursem, Netherlands. The exact date of its construction is unknown, but it is believed to have been built around 1921.

Its primary function is to serve as a place of worship for Catholics in the Ursem community. It may also host various events and ceremonies throughout the year. The church's architectural style is likely Neo-Gothic or Art Deco, which was common during the early 20th century in the Netherlands.

The Sint-Bavokerk is situated at Noorddijkerweg 1, 1645 VB Ursem, Netherlands.

• The church has a rich history. Initially, the Catholics of Ursem belonged to the parish of De Goorn.
• From 1858, they had their own schuurkerk in Ursem.
• On December 31, 1861, the independent parish "Sint-Bavo" was founded.

The current church was built from 1920 to 1921. Architect Alexander Kropholler designed a hall church in traditionalist style with a tower at the front.
