Grote of Sint-Michaëlskerk, Gothic church in Oudewater, Netherlands.
The church features three naves of equal width and height, with wooden barrel vaults and a 42-meter tower divided into four sections.
The initial structure, built around 1100, underwent major expansions in 1250 with the addition of a transept and choir, transforming it into a cruciform church.
The memorial stone of mathematician Rudolph Snellius van Rooyen, who served as a professor in Leiden, remains preserved in the west wall.
The building contains a 28-stop main organ from 1840 and an English 12-stop choir organ installed in 2008 for religious services.
The tower includes a north-south passage at street level leading to the church entrance, with its base enclosed on the IJssel side.
