Great or St. Vitus Church Naarden, Gothic church in Naarden, Netherlands
The Great or St. Vitus Church features wooden vaults adorned with biblical paintings from both Old and New Testament scenes throughout its interior ceiling.
The church structure, dating from the 15th century, endured through the Spanish invasion of 1572 when the town of Naarden experienced destructive events.
This religious monument maintains its role as a center for musical performances, including organ concerts and the traditional Easter performances of Mattäus Passion.
Entry to the Great or St. Vitus Church is free, and visitors receive informational pamphlets in multiple languages at the entrance of Marktstraat 13.
The ceiling paintings remained concealed for several decades until their rediscovery during recent renovation work, revealing previously unknown biblical illustrations.
