ENG From source
The Sint-Barnabaskerk is a single-aisled hall church built in 1852 to 1854 in the town of Haastrecht, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The church is used by the Roman Catholic H. Barnabas parish and is located at Grote Haven 8 in Haastrecht.

The church was built to replace the 17th-century barn church that was in use at the same location in Haastrecht from 1682 to 1853. The church was built to a design by architect W.J. from Vogelpoel. The church was built in neoclassical style and is therefore a late example of neoclassical architecture. The architectural style is also referred to as 'water management style'. The church was built by contractor D. van Kent from Utrecht. The church was consecrated in 1854 by the Dean of Rotterdam, on June 10, 1855 the Bishop of Haarlem consecrated the church.
