The
current St. Pancratius of Geesteren was built to replace an earlier
church built in 1820.
Architect Jan Stuyt designed the church in a combination of styles,
mixing neo-Gothic with Traditionalism. It's a three-aisled
pseudo-basilica with polygonal transept-arms and choir. In the corners
between transept and choir are lateral chapels. There's a polygonal
baptistery in the corner between
the front of the nave. At the other side of the front is the tower,
which has a
remarkable spire with louvres.
The church is entirely covered with brick vaults, yet it has only
modest
buttresses to support them. Stuyt also designed the presbytery.
