Buurkerk, Medieval parish church in Utrecht, Netherlands
The Buurkerk features Gothic architecture with high columns, white interior walls, and a tower that dates from 1370 in the center of Utrecht.
Originally constructed in 1388, the church underwent transformation in 1586 when Protestant authorities removed Catholic decorations and whitewashed the interior walls.
Dutch painter Pieter Saenredam created detailed architectural paintings of the Buurkerk interior in 1644, documenting the church's Protestant modifications.
The building now houses Museum Speelklok, displaying mechanical musical instruments, with the main entrance located on Steenweg street in central Utrecht.
Medieval graffiti discovered inside the church includes drawings depicting the tale of Reinout van Montalbaen, connecting architecture with literature of that period.
