Waalse Kerk, Leiden, Protestant church building in Breestraat, Leiden, Netherlands.
The Waalse Kerk stands at Breestraat 62, featuring a brick facade with a bell tower added in 1739 and traditional architectural elements from the 1600s.
Originally serving as the chapel of St. Catherine's hospital, the structure was converted into a Walloon church in 1638 to serve French-speaking Protestant communities.
The church maintains French-language Protestant services and contains an organ built by G. Stevens in 1746, completed by P. van Assendelft in 1748.
Located in central Leiden near the blue stone marker, the church operates as both a religious institution and a protected national monument under Rijksmonument status.
The building houses a historical bell crafted by C. Ammeroy in 1605, measuring 75.8 centimeters in diameter and remaining in its original position.
