Groote Kerk, Protestant church in Maassluis, Netherlands
The Groote Kerk, designed by Pieter de Keyser, stands prominently on Kerkeiland with its characteristic Dutch architectural elements and high tower visible across Maassluis.
Construction of the church began in 1629, funded by a special fish tax, and faced delays due to Dunkirk privateers before its consecration by Pastor Johannes Fenacolius in 1639.
The church maintains its position as a central religious institution in Maassluis, hosting regular Protestant services and community gatherings for over 1,100 attendees.
Visitors can arrange tours outside regular opening hours to explore the church interior and climb the tower for views of Maassluis historic center.
The church houses the notable Garrels organ and stands on former fortification grounds that were specifically demolished to accommodate its construction in the 1620s.
