Catharijnekerk Brielle, Gothic church in Brielle, Netherlands
The Catharijnekerk features a three-aisle layout with a prominent central aisle, tall clerestorey, and natural stone tower reaching 57 meters high.
The construction of the current church structure began in 1417, but a devastating fire in 1456 required immediate rebuilding efforts until financial limitations halted progress in 1482.
The church transitioned from Catholic to Protestant control in 1572, yet maintains its original Saint Catherine name while serving the Protestant community of Brielle.
Visitors can explore the church interior between May and October, with opening hours from 10:30 to 16:30 Monday through Saturday.
The nave width of Catharijnekerk exceeds that of any other church in The Netherlands, built primarily with brick and natural stone details.
