Martinikerk, Protestant church in Groningen, Netherlands.

The Martinikerk stands 97 meters tall, constructed from brick and sandstone, featuring Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.

Initially built in 1225 as a cruciform church, the building underwent major extensions during the 15th and 16th centuries, including the addition of multiple tombs.

The interior contains preserved wall paintings from the 16th century that depict scenes from the life of Jesus Christ across the ancient surfaces.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and requires a modest entrance fee of 2 euros to explore its architectural and historical features.

The church tower, known locally as d'Olle Grieze, houses an organ with components dating back to 1450, maintaining its original baroque character.
