St. Bavokerk (Grote Kerk)
Site#Z4
DescriptionThe Dutch Reformed Great Church, or St. Bavo Church of Haarlem, is built in late Gothic style. There is a beautiful wooden ceiling (16th century) over the central nave and choir. For the most part, the furniture dates prior to the Reformation. Examples include a choir screen (1509-1517), choir stalls (1512) and a brass pelican lectern (1499) by Jan Fierens from Mechelen. Built by Christian Müller in 1738, the Church's organ is world-famous. The organ front was made by Jan van Logteren. It was restored in 1961 by the Danish organ manufacturer firm Marcussen. Location InfoThe Church can be reached by a 10-minute walk southward from the railway station. There are trains every 15 minutes from Amsterdam and Leiden to Haarlem.
