Sint Franciscuskerk Groningen
With the development of the Oosterparkwijk neighbourhood, there was also a need for a nieuwe kerk. Architect H. C. Van de Leur designed a building in the Bellot style, featuring clean lines based on the golden ratio.

The foundation stone was laid on Boxing Day 1932, after which construction was officially completed in January 1934. The most striking feature of the building is its coloured bricks. The building has a square bell tower and a copper-clad hipped roof. The church is dedicated to Francis of Assisi, a statue of whom hangs on the tower.
