De Verbinding Church

De Verbinding Church was built in the early 20th century, specifically between 1911 and 1913. The church was designed by architect Jos Schellius, who aimed to create a modernist building that would serve as a symbol of unity for the community.

De Verbinding Church is an example of Expressionist architecture, a style that emerged in Europe during the early 20th century. Expressionist architects sought to create buildings that were expressive and emotive, often incorporating geometric shapes and abstract forms.

  • The church's design features a unique blend of modernist and Gothic Revival elements.

The exterior walls are made of brick, with a prominent tower that rises above the roofline. The main entrance is flanked by two asymmetrical towers, creating a sense of dynamic movement.

Interior

  1. The interior of De Verbinding Church is characterized by a high ceiling, arched windows, and a large organ.
  2. The walls are adorned with abstract murals, adding to the building's Expressionist flair.
