The Grote Kerk

Located at Grotekerksplein 3, 3311 CC Dordrecht, Netherlands, this historic church dates back to the 13th century and has undergone several renovations and restorations over the centuries.

  • This Gothic-Renaissance style church features a distinctive tower and a large nave, with a striking organ loft and intricate stone carvings.
  • The Grote Kerk is one of the oldest and most important churches in Dordrecht, playing a significant role in the city's history and culture.

De Grote or Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk te Dordrecht is the largest church of this city, a cruciform basilica in Brabants-gothic style with an uncompleted tower, being the second oldest church of the town (the oldest being paradoxically called the Nieuwkerk).

In 1572, the church came into the hands of the Protestants.

  1. The Grote Kerk stands in the 'Top 100 of the Rijksdienst voor de Monumentenzorg' from 1990.
