Grote Kerk, Hoorn, Protestant church in Hoorn, Netherlands

The Grote Kerk exhibits neo-Renaissance architecture with brick facades, natural stone decorations, and a square tower topped by an eight-sided spire.

After fires destroyed previous structures in 1838 and 1878, architect C. Muysken designed the current church building, which was constructed between 1881 and 1883.

The church interior features round arch windows with stained glass in green and blue, displaying floral patterns that reflect Protestant architectural preferences.

Located at Kerkplein 33, the former church building now functions as a hotel and restaurant complex, maintaining its status as a protected national monument.

The building's transformation from religious space to commercial center in 1968 made it one of the first churches in the Netherlands to undergo such repurposing.
