Waalse Kerk, Gothic church in Begijnhof, Haarlem, Netherlands
The Waalse Kerk stands with its medieval stone walls, upper gallery, and a bell tower containing a 56.5-centimeter diameter bell from 1512.
Founded in 1348, the church transformed from a Catholic monastery chapel to a Protestant sanctuary for French-speaking refugees in the 16th century.
The church maintains French-language services and hosts regular musical performances, including organ concerts featuring students from the Amsterdam Conservatory.
The building functions as a multipurpose venue, offering rentable spaces for events, meetings, and community gatherings throughout the calendar year.
The 1808 Friederichs organ includes a mechanical clock system in the attic that controls the timepiece visible on its front panel.
