Theaterchurch Bemmel (Dutch: Theaterkerk Bemmel) is a theater and former Catholic church building in Bemmel, Netherlands.[1]
History[]
The church building was built in the period 1872-1873; it was dedicated to Saint Donatus of Arezzo. It was opened in 1873, on August 7: the feast day of Saint Donatus.[2] The building then bore the name 'Holy Donatus Church' (Dutch: Heilige Donatuskerk).
From 2015 to 2016, the church was converted into a multifunctional building with a theater hall, an entrance hall with a bar, and a few smaller rooms. The building was renamed 'Theaterchurch Bemmel' (Dutch: Theaterkerk Bemmel) and was opened in October 2016.
