Heilige Stephanuskerk

Kerkstraat 53-37
Dieteren
The St. Stephen's Church is located in Het Narrowest Piece of the Netherlands, in which traditional and modern elements come together. Behind the current Heilige Stephanuskerk in Dieteren is a rich history.

The land on which this church now stands has already accommodated several religious buildings. Dieteren's medieval chapel appears in writings at the beginning of the sixteenth century.

The chapel as it was then described, however, had to make way around 1845 for a larger water management church, a beautiful symbol of the parish's independence at the time.

That church was replaced around 1940 by a new, neo-Romanesque church, which suffered serious damage during the war. A few years later, it was restored to its current form, in which traditionalist and modern elements easily merge into a whole.

The round arches, a tower with a pointed tent roof and the light, white plastered interior make this sacred home a cherished place in this small town in The Narrowest Piece of the Netherlands.
