Lokhorstkerk, Protestant church in Pieterskerkstraat, Leiden, Netherlands.

The Lokhorstkerk features a low brick facade with a cornice and tympanum, leading into a two-aisle building with decorative columns at the entrance.

Built in 1638 on the site of the demolished Lokhorst house, the church underwent expansions in 1648 while maintaining its original structural elements.

The church serves combined Mennonite and Remonstrant congregations, representing different Protestant denominations that shaped Dutch religious history.

The building contains a single-manual organ constructed by J.J. Mitterreither in 1774, which L. van Dam modified in 1807 with additional components.

The church functioned as a hidden place of worship until 1795, constructed behind a row of houses that were later demolished in 1823.
