Dutch Reformed Church Tower, Katwijk aan Zee

12 May 2025 · Katwijkaan Zee

A low-angle view from street level pushes the Gothic Revival tower hard against a saturated summer sky over Katwijk aan Zee. Warm red brick, slate grey roof, and the white lantern cupola lock into a graphic vertical that earns its own weight before the eye reaches the roofline. The church carries its mass without ornament for ornament's sake — every arch, every corbel placed where structure demands it. Ecclesiastical architecture built to be read from a distance, still doing exactly that.
