Sint-Laurentiuskerk, Gothic church in Alkmaar, Netherlands.

The Sint-Laurentiuskerk features external flying buttresses, stone-vaulted side aisles, and wooden ceilings in both the nave and transept sections.

Constructed between 1859 and 1861, this church represents architect Pierre Cuypers' first major project in western Netherlands, incorporating French Gothic architectural elements.

The church interior contains detailed religious artworks, including painted Stations of the Cross and stained glass windows depicting saints and biblical scenes.

The church maintains its religious functions while offering accessibility features, including modified pews from 2012 that preserve historical character with modern comfort.

The church base was designed for a tall western tower, but construction stopped at the foundation level due to financial constraints and Protestant community concerns.
