Westerkerk, Gothic church building in Enkhuizen, Netherlands
The Westerkerk stands 17 meters tall with dimensions of 30 meters in width and 70 meters in length, featuring three main aisles.
Construction of the Westerkerk began around 1470 and continued for fifty years, initially serving Catholic farmers before converting to Protestant worship in 1573.
The church houses the Librije van Enkhuizen, which remains the sole seventeenth-century town library maintained in its original Netherlands location.
Visitors can explore the church from July through September between 13:30 and 17:00, with free entry and optional contributions welcomed.
The floor contains 1500 numbered stone graves arranged in three layers, allowing for up to 4500 burials within the church structure.
