Nieuwe Kerk, Protestant church building at Spui, The Hague, Netherlands.
The Nieuwe Kerk exhibits Dutch Baroque architecture with two connected octagonal sections and a central pulpit area near the modern city hall.
The church construction began in 1649 under architect Pieter Noorwits and assistant Bartholomeus van Bassen, reaching completion in 1656 due to congregation growth.
The church houses significant tombs, including philosopher Spinoza in the churchyard and the brothers De Witt within the main building.
The building serves as a concert venue since 1969, featuring an organ from 1702 by Johannes Duyschot, modified in 1867 for romantic music.
The innovative roof structure rests entirely on exterior walls without interior pillars, demonstrating advanced 17th-century engineering techniques.
