Description

"The architect HJ van den Brink designed the Roman Catholic cemetery of St Lawrence in the city centre of Rotterdam as an Italian 'field of the dead', a campo santo. He was a disciple of the architect PJH Cuypers and had a reputation as an architect of churches in the neo-Gothic style. This was also the style in which he designed the porches, and the central chapel, surrounded by a circular path with main paths radiating from it. An arcade on top of double burial chambers was built around the perimeter of the cemetery." - http://www.mecanoo.com
