Kleine Kerk Edam, Gothic church tower in Edam, Netherlands.

The remaining structure consists of a brick tower from the 15th century topped with an octagonal sandstone lantern built between 1568 and 1569.

Originally constructed in 1310 as Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk, the church underwent major changes in 1883 when most of its structure was demolished except for the tower section.

The tower contains four protected bells cast by P. van den Ghein in 1561 and features a mechanical drum clock created by J.P. Engelsz in the same year.

Located at Lingerzijde 1 in Edam, the tower stands as a protected monument under the designation Rijksmonument 14345, preserving its historical importance.

The structure faced near collapse in 1972, requiring emergency intervention from the fire department to prevent the complete loss of this historical landmark.
