Extensive illustrated architectural history of the Catholic churches in The Netherlands, of which the majority are 19th-century buildings. The Dutch architect Petrus Josephus Hubertus Cuypers (1827-1921) was responsible for the design of many churches in neo-Gothic style in The Netherlands, and as such is one of the leading figures in the proces of catholic emancipation in the second half of the 19th century. Besides designing over 70 new churches and other buildings, Cuypers also was responsible for numerous restorations of existing churches, including those of many medieval, now protestant churches.
His attempts to restore parts of such churches back to their original state occasionally was a cause of conflict with the protestant community that used such a church. Like most architects of that time, Cuypers had no problems with sacrificing the authentic look of a medieval church and replacing it with his own typical style, or even completely replacing a centuries-old church by a new one.
