Terneuzen, Netherlands
The 'Maria Ascension Church (or Cuyperskerk) is a neo-Gothic church in Sas van Gent that was put into use in 1892 and designed by Joseph Cuypers. The church is located on the Markt and is a cross basilica with a tower and crossing tower. It is the first church in the Netherlands where a vault of "cement-iron", or reinforced concrete, was used.
