Broerkerk, Medieval church in Groningen, Netherlands
The Broerkerk stands at the intersection of Broerstraat, featuring Gothic architecture with detailed brickwork and substantial interior modifications throughout its existence.
Built around 1500, the church initially served Franciscan monks before becoming the first Protestant church in Groningen after the city's reformation.
The building transformed from a religious center to a university church in 1614, marking the connection between faith and education in Groningen.
The structure measures 76 meters in length and 25 meters in width, with multiple entrances providing access from different sides of the building.
The church housed an Arp Schnitger organ from 1702, which incorporated pipes from an earlier 1679 instrument by Hendrick Hermans van Loon.
