Grote Kerk, Naaldwijk, Gothic cross church in Naaldwijk, Netherlands

The church features a bell tower with three distinct bells, stone walls one meter thick, and a Gothic choir screen with marble gravestones.

Founded in 1307 as a chapter church, the building underwent major reconstruction in 1472 after lightning caused a fire in the tower.

The interior contains a 17th-century pulpit and a panel displaying the Ten Commandments, gifts from Frederik Hendrik after the Protestant transformation.

Located at Wilhelminaplein 5 in Naaldwijk, the church opens on Saturdays from 10:00 to 17:00 for visitors and antique market enthusiasts.

The south facade holds one of the oldest sundials in the Netherlands, positioned above a library that stores the church archives.
