Groote or Nieuwe Kerk (Protestant church - Reformed Church). Renaissance city church with tower. One of the most monumental Protestant church buildings in the Netherlands from the 17th century, with a world-famous organ. The land of the former redoubt was purchased on 24 June 1612 for the construction of a cemetery. In that same year, on 10 November, the reverend Johannes Fenacolius (1577-1645) bought the construction drawings of the Noorderkerk to be built in Amsterdam. The design for that church was by Hendrick de Keyser, Cornelis Dankersz. van Seevenhoven and Hendrick Jacobsz. Staets. As Hendrick de Keyser had died, the plans were purchased from his son Pieter. The Nieuwe Kerk (1665) in Groningen was also built according to this design.
