About the venue
De Lichttempel earned its nickname from the glass domed roof added during a 2012 renovation, two decades after the Lutheran congregation's last service. Daylight floods the whole hall by day, and in the evening a subtle lighting rig sets the mood without overpowering the original brick walls. A small side room has been fitted out as a prayer room with a wudu tap.
The hall is built for 220 to 400 guests and sits within walking distance of central Enschede, handy for guests arriving by train. Manager Sara Öztürk speaks Turkish, Dutch and English and usually replies within a day; she keeps a shortlist of DJs playing both Turkish and international sets. The kitchen is halal-fitted, and the sound can run until one in the morning.

Recommendations
3 recommendations“The glass domed roof makes the afternoon photos incredible, the light falls perfectly across the whole hall. Sara switched between Turkish and Dutch with us and it felt comfortable right away.”
“We travelled by train from Amsterdam and the walking distance to the centre was genuinely handy for our guests. The DJ Sara recommended blended Turkish and international tracks well.”
“The prayer room is a small side room but genuinely has a working wudu tap, which I hadn't expected in such a centrally located hall. A nice surprise.”
