Heilige Petrus en Pauluskerk

Den Helder

Monumental water board church on the edge of the city center

Take a look

The St. Peter and St. Paul Church is a striking church building in the heart of Den Helder. Since 1840, this Catholic church has been a landmark in the city.

Waterstaat Church with a rich history

This church is one of two water board churches in Den Helder. The building was designed by Hermanus Hendrik Dansdorp, a supervisor with the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management. The tower followed four years later, in 1844. Together with the parsonage and walled garden, it forms a historic ensemble.

Connected to city and faith

The church belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Den Helder. The monumental interior contains a valuable organ and is still used for services. Its location on Kerkgracht makes it a prominent point between the city and the dike.
