The Protestantse Kerk

The Protestantse Kerk is a church located in the city of Best, Netherlands. It is also known as the Grote Kerk or St. Michaelskerk and is a beautiful Gothic-style church that was built in the 14th century.

  • The main Protestant church: The church has been the main Protestant church in Best for over 400 years.
  • Striking tower: One of these features is its striking tower, which stands tall above the surrounding buildings and can be seen from many parts of the city.

The church has undergone several renovations and restorations throughout its history, but it still retains many of its original features.

  1. Stained-glass windows: The Protestantse Kerk also boasts beautifully stained-glass windows that allow natural light to flood into the interior of the church. These windows are not only visually striking but also tell the story of the Bible through their intricate designs and vibrant colors.
  2. The organ: The interior of the church is equally impressive, with a large organ taking center stage. The organ has been a part of the church's history for centuries and is still used today during Sunday services and other special events.

But the Protestantse Kerk is more than just a beautiful building - it has also played a significant role in the history of Best.

  • A place of worship: Today, the Protestantse Kerk remains an active place of worship and is open to visitors who want to learn more about its rich history.
  • Tours and services: Visitors can take guided tours of the church, attend Sunday services, or simply sit in quiet contemplation and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that permeates the space.
