Oosterkerk, Gothic church in Hoorn, Netherlands.

The Oosterkerk features a single-nave cruciform design with a tower at the intersection and sandstone entrance portal on the north facade.

Built in 1519, the church underwent substantial renovation in 1616 under architect Hendrick de Keyser, transforming from a Catholic to Dutch Reformed institution.

The interior contains stained glass windows from 1619, a 17th-century pulpit, and an organ case created by J.H.H. Batz in 1764.

Located at Grote Oost 60 in Hoorn, the church functions as a cultural center for concerts, weddings, meetings, and community gatherings.

The church houses the only organ built by Johan Heinrich Hartmann Bätz in North Holland, which underwent restoration in 1982.
