The Lutherse Kerk

The Lutherse kerk is located at Jan de Bakkerstraat 13, 3441 ED Woerden, Netherlands. The church was built in 1646 and serves as a place of worship for the Lutheran community.

As its name suggests, the Lutherse kerk is a Lutheran church, and its religion is Christianity, specifically Lutheranism. Unfortunately, there is no information available about the architectural style of the church.

• The church's history dates back to 1558 when hertog Erik II van Brunswijk-Calenberg-Göttingen held the city in underpand from Filips II of Spain. This allowed for Lutheran gatherings to take place, although the city officially remained Catholic.
• In 1572, Woerden joined the uprising against Spanish rule, and as a result, the city became officially Lutheran.
• However, this decision was met with discontent by the Reformed majority in the region, and in 1580, the main church of the city, the Petruskerk, was given to the Calvinists. This left the Lutherans with only a huiskerk, which was eventually demolished in 1644. A new schuilkerk was built on the same site in 1646.
• The exact date of construction is unknown, but according to historical records, the church was built in 1646. It's unclear if the church has a bell tower or not, and unfortunately, there is no information available about the architect responsible for designing the church.

As a schuilkerk, this Lutheran place of worship likely serves as a small community church serving the local population in Woerden.
