De Verrezen Heer is a parish church in Berchem, a district of Antwerp, Belgium. Its design represents postwar modernism in late twentieth-century church architecture. Architect Wald Van Raemdonck created a low brick building with a high, pyramid-shaped roof. The roof gives the church its clearest architectural feature. A separate bell tower uses steel profiles, adding an industrial element to the modernist composition. The steel bell tower stands apart from the main building. Inside, a chapel sits beneath the pyramid-shaped roof, while the ground plan suggests a cross. The chapel receives natural light beneath the pyramid-shaped roof. The church serves as a centre for the local Catholic parish community in Berchem. The parish belongs to the wider Heilige Damiaan pastoral unit. Regular Eucharistic celebrations, prayer and adoration connect the building with parish life. Community Sundays bring worship and social activities together. Concerts, gatherings, baptisms, weddings and funerals have also taken place here. The church carries recognition as built heritage in Flanders. Its brick, steel and simple structure reflect changing church architecture after the Second World War. De Verrezen Heer combines a distinctive Antwerp building with an active place of worship and community life.
