Sint-Annakerk
Sint-Annakerk stands in Borgerhout, a district of Antwerp, as a parish church built around 1905. Its brick facade joins the surrounding row of houses, so the church forms part of the street wall rather than standing apart. Round-arched windows soften the frontage, while a small roof turret marks the building above.
The parish emerged in 1905, and the church provided a place of worship for the new local Catholic community. Its practical brick construction reflects early twentieth-century Belgian architecture and the growth of Antwerp’s urban neighbourhoods. The church also served as a gathering place for religious services and community activities.
Look for the modest turret rising from the roof: it gives this integrated street facade a clear ecclesiastical detail without the scale of a cathedral tower.
