Janskerk, Medieval church with archives in Haarlem, Netherlands.

The Janskerk building exhibits Gothic architectural elements with high ceilings, stained glass windows, and stone masonry throughout its structural composition.

Gerard van Tetrode donated land in 1310 for the construction of Saint John's monastery complex, which included the Janskerk as its central place of worship.

The North Holland Archives, housed within the Janskerk since 1936, maintains extensive records and documents that detail the region's rich historical development.

The archives facility opens from Monday through Friday, offering free access to genealogical records, historical documents, and regional administrative information.

The permanent exhibition about Johannes Enschedé, the Dutch state printer for banknotes, occupies the upper floor with displays in multiple languages.
