De Overdekte, Church building in Leiden, Netherlands

The De Overdekte church features stone walls, pointed arch windows, and wooden columns separating the side aisles from the central nave.

Originally constructed in 1618 by architect W. van der Helm, the church underwent substantial rebuilding of its side and rear walls in 1661.

The church interior contains painted panels by Joris van Schooten from 1640, depicting biblical scenes including Adam and Eve and the Crucifixion.

The church building houses multiple halls suitable for events, with rental options typically including access to both the church space and additional facilities.

The church houses a copper lectern shaped like a swan from the 17th century and a Renaissance oak baptismal fence dated to 1640.
