The Zuiderkapel

The Zuiderkapel is a historic church located in the Zuiderpark neighborhood of Rotterdam, Netherlands. The Zuiderkapel was built in the 17th century as a chapel for the nearby Zuiderpark, which was a popular recreational area for the city's residents.

The church was designed in the Dutch Baroque style and features a distinctive tower that has become a landmark in Rotterdam.

The Zuiderkapel is a small, rectangular building with a gabled roof and a tower at its western end. The interior of the church features a simple, yet elegant design with a wooden pulpit and pews.

The church also has several stained-glass windows and a beautiful organ loft.

In 1990, the Zuiderkapel underwent a major restoration project to repair damage caused by years of neglect and wear. The project was completed in 1995, and the church was reopened to the public.
