Galileërkerk, Former Protestant church in Tweebaksmarkt, Leeuwarden, Netherlands.
The Galileërkerk stood as a religious structure at Tweebaksmarkt, characterized by Renaissance architectural elements and a notable Van Dam organ installation.
Originally established as a Franciscan monastery chapel in 1498, the building transformed into a Reformed Protestant church during the religious changes of 1580.
The church maintained connections with multiple congregations in Leeuwarden until 1940, representing the Protestant traditions of the Friesland region.
Parts of the former church remain accessible through regional institutions, with the pulpit now located in Joure and gravestones displayed in Minnertsga.
The Van Dam organ from Galileërkerk continues its musical legacy in the Grote of Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk in Tholen, while architectural fragments reside in the Fries Museum.
