Broederenkerk, Zutphen, Gothic church in Zutphen, Netherlands
Broederenkerk is a Gothic church in Zutphen featuring a three-nave basilica with pointed arches and stone vaulted ceilings throughout. A copper-covered wooden bell tower built in 1772 crowns the structure and defines the building's profile.
Construction of the Dominican monastery church began in 1306, following a land donation by Margaretha van Dampierre to the monks in 1293. The building gradually became a significant religious center in the town.
The interior shows ceiling paintings from the 16th century and numerous gravestones spanning several centuries, documenting its long use as a place of worship. Carved wall cupboards with decorative doors add to the sense of accumulated spiritual heritage within the space.
Since 1983, the building operates as a public library and welcomes visitors during regular opening hours. The interior is well-lit and allows you to explore the Gothic architecture while moving freely through the space.
The building houses a time capsule called 'Het Grote Zutboek' filled with contributions from local residents. This capsule will remain sealed until 2109, when future generations can open it and discover what people valued today.
