Grote of St. Janskerk, Gothic church in Schiedam, Netherlands.
The Grote of St. Janskerk rises 54 meters high with three naves, displaying characteristic features of Holland Gothic architectural design throughout its structure.
Construction of this hallway church began in 1335 on the site of a smaller church from 1262, with major expansions following a city fire in 1428.
The consistory room, renovated between 1773 and 1778, contains complete 18th-century interiors with walls covered in golden leather wallpaper.
The church opens its doors to visitors from April through September, featuring guided tours that showcase the Renaissance organ case and Netherlands' oldest baptismal arch.
The tower houses a carillon of 38 bells, including 13 original bells made by Andreas de Gheyn in 1786, plus three large ringing bells from 1455, 1519, and 1710.
