Grote of Sint-Clemenskerk, Protestant church in Steenwijk, Netherlands.

The Sint-Clemenskerk features an 86-meter tower that stands as a prominent landmark visible throughout the entire Steenwijk region.

Originally constructed around 900 as a wooden structure, the church evolved through Romanesque tuff and brick buildings before reaching its current form in the 15th century.

The church interior contains vault paintings dating back to 1633, representing the artistic and religious heritage of the Protestant Reformation period.

Located at the intersection of Goeman Borgesiusstraat and Kerkstraat, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors interested in its architecture.

The tower functioned as Steenwijk's water tower from 1907 until 1914, when its current spire was installed to replace the original one lost in a 1558 storm.
