![]() Enschede (Ov): St. Jacobus de Meerdere (H.W. Valk & J.H. Sluijmer, 1932-1933)
The assignment asked for a
centralizing church with a good view on the altar from three sides (nave and
both transept-arms), a type of church Valk had designed several times before.
The resulting church however doesn't quite look like a work of Valk, nor does it
look like a work of Sluijmer. Apparently the contributions of both architects
resulted in something entirely new. A combination of brick and natural stone was used for the church, with copper for the domes. The style in which the church was built is often referred to as neo-Byzantine. |
