Fo Guang Shan He Hua Temple (Chinese: 佛光山荷華寺; pinyin: Fó Guāng Shān Hé Huá Sì; lit.

It is the largest Buddhist temple built in the traditional Chinese palace style in Europe.

In 1944, the last remnants of the building were demolished after the Jewish owners were deported during World War II.

[3][2] The leaders of the Fo Guang Shan dismissed the first temple design by architect Fred Greven as too small with incorrect measurements.

[1][2] For the second design he applied the Buddhist sacred measurement unit of 32 centimeters and everything fell in place.

[1] The temple has four floors: The facades of the two side-buildings transition to typical Dutch architecture of the Zeedijk.

[5] They were replaced by custom yellow glazed Romanesque tiles with replica fittings and prayer statues.

On Vesak Day, during full moon in May, a large number of Chinese Dutch and other Buddhists come to burn incense to worship Buddha, and the many bodhisattvas.
