Grote Kerk, Gothic church in Vlaardingen, Netherlands

The Grote Kerk features three naves with beech columns separated by Doric pillars that support wooden barrel vaults throughout the interior space.

The initial construction of the Grote Kerk started in 1156, followed by multiple restorations after its destruction in 1574 and subsequent enlargements.

The church contains a Rococo altar acquired in 1819 from the Baudeloo Abbey in Belgium, demonstrating architectural influences across European borders.

The church building stands at Markt 63 in Vlaardingen, with the tower remaining under municipal ownership while the main structure holds monument status.

The brick portal against the northern aisle exhibits an 18th-century design with a cross gable decorated by small vases and Louis XIV style carvings.
