Grote of Martinikerk, Gothic church in Sneek, Netherlands.

The three-aisled Martinikerk features brick construction, stained glass windows, and a prominent bell tower that marks the city skyline of Sneek.

Construction of the current church structure began around 1498, with the choir and main sections completed by 1503, following an earlier 11th-century building.

The interior contains a pulpit from 1626 and an organ built by Arp Schnitger in 1711, which underwent modifications while maintaining its historical facade.

The church stands at Grote Kerkstraat 5 in Sneek and maintains its function as both a religious center and a national monument open to visitors.

The bell tower houses Friesland's largest carillon system, comprising 50 bells, with the oldest bell dating from 1466.
