Berkel-Enschot (NB): St. Willibrordus (J. Stuyt, 1910)

This Jan Stuyt-designed church was built as a replacement for a late-medieval chapel, which stood on the same location and to which a tower (designed by H.J. van Tulder) had been added in 1857. The tower has survived, although it has been covered with a new layer of bricks.
This is one of Stuyt's simpler designs, of a more or less standard type the architect used for several other village churches as well, a single-aisled church with a few chapels at the sides. It has been built in a sober neo-Romanesque style and features a choir with semi-circular apse. Stuyt's trademark, the chessboard motives, is present in various locations.
