Evangelisch Lutherse Kerk

The church building of the Evangelical Lutheran community in Leeuwarden was built in 1774 to a design by the Roman Catholic city architect Van Nooteboom (1733 - 1812), with financial support from mainly the community of Amsterdam. The memorial stone in the front facade is a reminder of this. The simple building, a hall church with galleries, replaces an older church from 1681, financed by Andreas Moeller, whose funeral plaque still hangs in the church. The church was restored in 1994.

Galileakapel

This building is hidden in an inner courtyard between the Oosterkade and the Tweebaksmarkt, out of sight of the public road. In 1850, the reformed community had this simple church built for holding 'Bible readings for the needy'. In common parlance, this church was therefore also called the Poor Church or the Skippers Church, because many skippers from the Oosterkade went to this church.

Doopsgezinde Kerk
