Lokhorstkerk, Protestant church in Pieterskerkstraat, Leiden, Netherlands.
Lokhorstkerk is a Protestant church in Leiden featuring a low brick facade marked by a cornice and tympanum at the entrance. The interior consists of two aisles supported by decorative columns.
The church was built in 1638 on the site of the demolished Lokhorst house and underwent significant expansions in 1648. Despite these modifications, the building retained its original structural character.
The church houses both Mennonite and Remonstrant congregations, representing different Protestant traditions in Dutch religious history. Visitors can experience how these two faith communities have shared this worship space for centuries.
Visiting requires respecting the building's active worship status, particularly during religious services. It is best to check in advance when the church is available for casual visits.
The building served as a hidden place of worship until 1795, situated behind a row of houses that were later demolished in 1823. This concealed existence reflects the era when such meeting spaces required discretion.
