Grote of Sint-Nicolaaskerk, Edam, Gothic church building in Edam, Netherlands.
The Grote of Sint-Nicolaaskerk features three aisles, a transept, and a remarkable west tower that stands as the main architectural element of Edam.
Construction of this religious edifice began in the 15th century, and after a devastating fire in 1602, the church received new stained glass windows from various Dutch cities.
The church maintains a collection of theological works in its Librije, located above the sacristy near the southern portal, representing significant Reformed literature.
The building remains closed from October 2024 until Easter 2025, except for specific events, and guided tower climbs are available for children over seven years old.
The cemetery contains notable monuments, including a sculpture of a dying lion with an angel statue created by American artist Frank Edwin Elwell.
