Former St. Peter's Church, which was largely demolished in 2000, is now part of an apartment complex. The new, tastefully decorated church hall is called "St. Pieterkerk". This church hall consists of the transept of the former St. Peter's Church. The entrance to this is the former octagonal baptistery, an extension of the original transept on the left (= the so-called wall). Above this entrance, during the 2001-2002 renovation, the large round stained-glass window from the (demolished) facade of the former large church was replaced. The large, colorful, stained-glass concrete window by Daan Wildschut in the right wall of the original church has been retained and is part of the current church hall. Both at the front (main entrance in the former baptistery) and at the back (with glass-in-concrete window), with accompanying interesting details, this church building (reduced in a rather original way) is clearly recognizable. At the back right is a small Lady Chapel. (Source: reliwiki)
