Arnhem
(G): H. Hart van
Jezus
(W. te Riele, 1927-1928)
The H.
Hartkerk is a
three-aisled
cruciform basilica, designed by
W. te Riele in a combination of neo-Gothic and Expressionist styles. At
the front it has a portal. The church has narrow side-aisles and a wide
central aisle. The clerestorey has two gables on either side. The
windows of the nave are held in large, pointed arches. Like Te
Riele's earlier church in Hengelo (Ov), a tower is positioned above the
choir. This tower has a square base and an octagonal upper part. At the
back is a polygonal apse.
