Almelo (Ov): St. Egbertus (J. Stuyt, 1922-1924)



The St. Egbertus is a centralising church with a cloverleaf-shaped floor-plan. It has a short pseudo-basilican nave, a big circular crossing-tower with cone-shaped dome and a square tower at the side of the front. Especially the crossing-tower reminds of the St. Trudo in Zundert Stuyt built several years later. The entire eastern part of the church shows Byzantine influences while the interior of the nave is based on German Romanesque. Several parts of the exterior are decorated with checkerboard-motives as typical for Stuyt's work.
The church was closed in 2004. Its future is uncertain.
