Martinikerk Franeker, Medieval church in Franeker, Netherlands.
The Martinikerk features a three-aisled pseudobasilica layout with side aisles continuing around the choir, supported by thirty pillars and timber ceilings.
Construction of the current Gothic church began around 1400, with the choir completed in the first half of the 15th century and the tower in the latter half.
The church pillars display frescoes depicting various saints, including Dominicus, Franciscus, and James the Greater, reflecting medieval religious art traditions.
The church contains numerous gravestones from the 16th to 18th centuries, with many standing upright against the side walls since 1877.
The Martinikerk stands as the only medieval church in Friesland province featuring a complete ambulatory around its choir.
