nofootnotes date January 2011 An apse chapel , in church architecture, is a chapel radiating tangentially from one of the bays or divisions of the apse . It is reached generally by a semicircular passageway, or ambulatory , exteriorly to the walls or piers of the apse. In plan, the normal type of the tangential chapel is semicircular some, however, are pentagonal, and some composed of a small circle, serving as cililhoir, and part of a large circle, as nave some are oblong with eastern apses. In England, sometimes an ambulatory connects the north and south aisle s of the choir and from the ambulatory projects an eastern chapel or chapels. The eastern chevet of Westminster Abbey . surrounded by five apsidal chapels, is the only complete example of this feature in England. The common source of the ambulatory and radiating chapels seems to have been the church of St. Martin of Tours , where originally there was a choir of two bays, and an apse of five bays, surrounded by a single ambulatory and five radiating chapels. Altars, which had before cumbered the nave, could now be placed in the new radiating chapels of the ambulatory, which afforded the necessary access to them. Each apsidal chapel could be treated as a sanctuary, to be entered only by the officiating, priest and his attendants, and the ambulatory served as the necessary nave for the worshippers. The usual number of these radiating chapels is three. Apse chapels are often found in the cathedrals of the Benedictine foundations, and occasionally in those of the Cluniac reform. St. Martin of Tours, St. Savin, and Cluny have five choir chapels Amiens, Beauvais Cologne, and Le Mans have seven apsidal chapels. No ambulatory ....

Image Oranjeboomstraat 1900.jpg thumb 250px The Wilhelmina Church on the Oranjeboomstraat on an old postcard The Wilhelminakerk in Rotterdam , was built as a new district church of the then independent Dutch Reformed Church . Like the Koninginnekerk in Rotterdam this church was built thanks to a gift from the sisters Van Dam. The inauguration followed on 27 November 1898. It was a strong centralizing church hall plan with a developed, closed three sided apse and front tower, flanked by two lower stair towers. The apse was externally accentuated by a simple gable and ridge turrets . The interior was equipped with galleries and was dominated by a strong standing in the chancel choir. The building was an important example of stylistic innovation in the Protestant church building in 1900, resulting from the eclecticism , equally important work from the work of Hooykaas B. Jr. The church in the postwar years was widely known for the organ concerts of the renowned organist and conductor , Feike Asma . As a result of declining church attendance, the church was decommissioned in 1972 and demolished in the years thereafter. Much of the pipes from the organ was purchased by the Reformed Church Veenendaal and be used for the organ of the Oude Kerk in Veenendaal. coord missing Netherlands Category Churches in the Netherlands Category Buildings and structures in Rotterdam nl Wilhelminakerk Rotterdam ... more details
