Visit · 45 min · The largest church in North Holland north of the North Sea Canal, Gothic, with a pulpit and copper chandeliers. Beside the Stedelijk.

The Grote Sint-Laurenskerk is the largest church in North Holland north of the North Sea Canal, a Gothic building designed by the Keldermans, a family of architects. It was emptied in the iconoclasm of 1566 and its silver was melted down during the siege to pay for William of Orange's war; then came the pulpit, the men's pews and the great copper chandeliers of the Reformed faith. Today it is also used for concerts and exhibitions.
Practical details
It is in the west of the centre, beside the Stedelijk Museum. Its visiting hours change with the events: ask at the tourist office in the Waag before you go.
