The Sint Joseph Church
The Sint Joseph Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Nieuw-Heeten, a village in the municipality of Raalte, Overijssel, Netherlands.

The Sint Joseph Church is an example of Dutch Expressionist architecture, a style that emerged in the early 20th century.
- Unconventional shape: The church's roofline resembles a boat or a wave, with a series of curved lines and pointed arches.
- Bright colors: The exterior walls are painted in bright colors, including blue, yellow, and red, which was a departure from the traditional Dutch brickwork style.
- Streamlined design: The church's shape is streamlined, with a sense of dynamism and movement.
