Grote of Sint-Jacobskerk
This important church, located on the Torenstraat in The Hague is the site of baptisms and marriages of members of the house of Orange-Nassau, including the current King and Princess of the Netherlands. Also know as the Great Church of St. James, this church was built in the 13th century, possibly of wood, before being converted into a brick structure. The church was badly damaged by a fire in 1539, and after a visit by Charles V, the Holy Roman Emporer, new stained glass windows were sponsored by him personally. In addition to this, this church contains the tombs of several famous people from Dutch history.
